I had a lovely email from a young Irish designer called Mia O’Connell, who’s launching her new collection in the Fitzwilliam Hotel, this Thursday from 11am to 8.30pm! So if you’re wandering about town this Thursday, why not pop in and get a little inspired, and perhaps pick something up for the old party season that’s in it…?
Here are the details! > Mia is from Dublin and has previously interned with Marios Schwab, British Vogue, John Rocha and The Times London. Currently working as a freelance designer, she then set up her own work ’The Eight and a Half Project’. At a first, the project was just a way to keep her sewing, making a few pieces for friends etc and it has grown from there.
The first capsule collection of the project is a series of party dresses and select other pieces, perfect for the festive season. The essence of the pieces is femininity with a hard edge, for those who choose to be that little bit different. Pieces start at €130.00, with the two accessories pieces (a velvet cowl neck hood and a velvet and wool collar) priced at €45.00 euros and €50.00
All are welcome to come have a peek , just ask at The Fitzwilliam Hotel reception for directions to the conference room!
Good luck with the launch Mia! Visit Mia’s blog >here<…
