December sees the launch of the inaugural Sligo Fashion Trail and I for one already know that this will be one not to miss! I have previously attended Fashion Trails in Galway and Athlone and they were very well organised and such a fun day out. The Fashion Trails entails visiting multiple retailers in a town and enjoying pop-up runway shows in each retailer of the latest styles that they have to offer.
The Sligo Fashion Trail is on Thursday 01st December and if you are looking for style inspiration or even just some fun runway shows then it is worth popping along to. And did I mention the morning coffees, afternoon teas and a few glasses of bubbly along the way… it is such a fun day out!
What I love about the trails is that they also showcase Irish Design as part of the day. And the Sligo trail will be showcasing the very amazing works of Milliner Marina Scally of withNora Designs and jeweller, Martina Hamilton (who I have interviewed previously here) along with recent St Angela’s fashion graduate, Jade Reidy (who I have interviewed previously here) and will showcase their collections on the day.
You may remember my interview here with Cait and I – well delightfully this wonderful store will also be playing host to the bloggers that will be attending. They stock some amazing handmade design and craft goods.
