national treasures looks at history through a sporting, social, political, design and fashion lens. From currachs to crolly dolls, bottles of blue nun to black mourning veils all of irish life is reflected in its many guises through the objects on the show.
Looking at heirlooms and personal artefacts tells a unique history of ireland - a history coming from the people’s perspective. We know objects can tell powerful stories, but what about fashion? can a prison uniform explain the harrowing consequences of the 1916 rising? can sonia o'sullivan's running shoes tell us of her journey for olympic gold? or can a 1940s wedding dress tell us what women’s lives were like in ireland at this
time
? yes they can, because nothing gets closer to the body and to the zeitgeist than fashion.
What’s the best time of year to visit Dublin?
Fashion revolution
ireland
started in 2015 under organisation called re-dress. Re-dress brought together some of ireland’s leading creatives to tell the real stories of our clothes trough a series of events and campaigns. This firmly established fashion revolution in ireland. We have since grown to involve hundreds of volunteers across the country each year. Fashion revolution ireland volunteers organised many events such as clothes swap parties, conferences, sustainable fashion shows and photoshoots , talks, films screenings, guerilla campaigns, and many other events all over ireland. We grew bigger every year and we were joined by local makers, educators, influencers, designers, teachers, artists and conscious fashion lovers.
Irish fashion owes a huge amount to a handful of individuals based in dublin but with their eyes on the world. Ireland’s fashion radicals displayed a fearlessness that allowed them to take on the world in paris, london and new york – and win. 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.

The crowds had gathered early, and the queue stretched all the way out into the car park. The taoiseach was due any moment at the square, the iconic shopping centre in the sprawling south dublin suburb of tallaght. But those who waited patiently in a well-marshalled line were not here for micheál martin. Premium.
Due to sybil’s rising star, in march 1956, harper’s bazaar ran a strapline declaring: “spring collections: paris london dublin italy”, elevating the irish city to sit alongside the fashion capitals of europe. By 1957, connolly was earning $500,000 annually, the bulk of which came from her american clients. Carmel snow, the irish editor of us harper’s bazaar, became a huge supporter of connolly’s work after attending a fashion show at dunsany castle, which the american fashion press were invited to attend. As a result, sybil’s dramatic, red tweed kinsale cloak and white irish crochet dress covered life magazine (above) in 1953 with the headline: “irish invade fashion world”.
