The Irish Fashion Innovation Awards are happening on March 30th and I am already on a countdown to one of my favourite nights on the Irish Fashion Calendar. The Awards organised by Galway Now Magazine offer support to both established and also emerging designers. As you know, on Floralesque, I firmly believe in helping to promote Irish Design and these Awards do so much to help support Irish Designers and Makers and offer many a wonderful opportunity to showcase their amazing work.
This evening I am back with some very exciting news – I have the list of finalists to share with you! In no particular order – please find below the listing of the finalists in the Irish Fashion Innovation Awards 2017 (click on their name to learn more about the designer);
