Black Friday, 99% off & ‘Throwaway Culture’  

By Maeve O'Sullivan   Posted in Byline Fashion
Posted on December 9, 2020December 9, 2020

November has always been famous for its mass consumerism. With the lead up to Christmas,  Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s no wonder. Marketing teams go wild, playing into the  minds of the consumer. In a pandemic, why should that be any different? Either it’s my new  glasses prescription or I’m actually getting older and…

By Maeve O'Sullivan   Posted in Byline Fashion
Posted on November 26, 2020

Fashion editor Maeve speaks with new business Lough Garments, run by UCC student Pádraig, and Sam, who is a recent UCC graduate. Do you believe that sustainable fashion is more important to the younger generation today than let’s say, millennials?

By Maeve O'Sullivan   Posted in Byline Fashion

Fast fashion, slow fashion and everything in between. I am beginning to wonder if this is a race of the Tortoise and the Hare; and who will win? If those terms didn’t baffle you already, then welcome Gen-Z, or Generation Z. This demographic cohort succeeds the problematic Millennials yet precedes the younger Generation Alpha. Gen-Z…

‘’I didn’t just wanna wear a tuxedo and be boring’’ – fashion designer Marc Jacobs The Scottish kilt or the shalwar kameez and kurta are evidence that the fashion world is no stranger to the idea of men wearing skirts or dresses. Despite this, skirts and dresses, ‘feminine clothing’, would incite verbal abuse and slander if worn…

Irish Designer Richard Malone Pauses Time at London Fashion Week

By Maeve O'Sullivan   Posted in Byline Fashion
Posted on October 16, 2020October 16, 2020

Designers, like you and me, have all been affected by the repercussions of the global pandemic. Their livelihoods stopped, as nowhere to go means no need to dress up. The previous fashion seasons once rolled into one another, designers and ateliers alike churning out collections to fit the times. What happens when time stops? When…

Take me to Paris, Emily

Posted on October 16, 2020October 16, 2020

If you were like me and binge-watched Netflix’s newest hit show, then you will know all about Ms. Emily Cooper. Travel restrictions aside, we were all transported to Paris last weekend – well, at least I was. The mouth-watering croissants, sublime Parisian architecture and timeless glimpses of la Tour Eiffel were not the only eye-catching…

Posted on October 4, 2020October 4, 2020

For as long as I can remember, I have dreamt of taking front row seats at fashion week. I did not, however, imagine it would be while I wore my PJs and a cup of tea. Nevertheless, I signed onto the livestreams and followed with awe. Here are some of my top moments from the…

‘Autumn-Winter, A Midsummer’s Dream’

By Maeve O'Sullivan   Posted in Byline Fashion
Posted on October 4, 2020October 4, 2020

‘TREND ALERT’ is the fashion world’s way of saying ‘BUY ME’ and, to put it bluntly, I say no more. Nothing screams fashion-faux more than buying into trends that shine for a moment but will tarnish the moment the leaves change colour. Summer may be over, but why should we pack up our wardrobes and…

Posted on September 17, 2020September 20, 2020

The fashion industry ground to halt last March in line with the COVID-19 outbreak, similar to the cease of industry during World War II in 1939.
