At a time when ireland was synonymous with poverty and misfortune, they defied the spirit of the age and boldly offered an alternative vision of the country. Thanks to their endeavours, irish fashion achieved worldwide fame and a reputation for excellence that has never been lost. With backing from american vogue and harper’s bazaar, designers such as sybil connolly put ireland on the fashion map for the first time, making the country a must-visit destination for stylish women everywhere.
