With recessionista shopping the new norm and renewal collections a big favorite, learning to get creative with your own wardrobe just makes sense.
Here to help are the Sip n’ Stitch team who promise not only to help you revamp your wardrobe but assess what suits your figure as well as give you some great styling tips.
So far so deadly? Tell us more you ask?
Well, no sewing machine? No worries. The focus of the six week course is on hand sewing and embellishments rather than technical machine work.
The course moves from revamping tops and dresses to a jacket overhaul and it doesn’t stop at clothes. The final week looks at hair accessories as well as bags and other bits and bobs. The team suggest bringing anything from runners to old curtains to help recreate your wardrobe. The potential seems never ending.
Alongside your wardrobe revamp, each week has a particular lesson from basic stitches during the first classes to ways to use elements such as cuffs, sleeves and pockets in a different way, towards the end of the course.
On top of all this the course will give you the opportunity to swap clothes and get to know new faces in a ‘boutique style’ setting all while sipping a glass of wine
Free drinks eh? Where do we sign up?
The course begins on Wednesday the 22nd at Om Diva Loft, Georges Street Arcade from 6.45 – 8.30pm at a cost of E108.
Places are sure to fill up quickly so to secure yours or to find out more information, give the team a call on 01 6791211. You can also check out their Facebook page here.
With the New York Spring shows in full swing you would be forgiven for thinking that we were all getting ahead of ourselves! So on Friday we went to check out the new Autumn/Winter Airborne Denim Collection for ONLY. Between tiger tees and stars and stripes, the fashion show at Weston Airport was a feast for the fashion senses!
Stand out pieces for us came from all sections, with the American flag motif jumpers from the Stars and Stripes collection a big favorite at STELLAR towers.
The Animal Rock collection was on trend with a great pair of slouchy yet stylish patterned trousers featuring as well as some laid back tees which looked the right side of worn. Their leopard print high-waisted shorts looked like they would flatter as well as make a statement this season.
With a good price point and basics as well as on trend looks we will definitely be picking up some items for our autumn/winter wardrobe.
ONLY, Jervis centre, Dublin and stockists nationwide
We love our readers so much we want them to get in on the action so here’s a sneak preview behind the scenes of Noirin Kelly’s photo shoot in next months Stellar, which is out tomorrow. Get it before it flies off the shelf. Woohoo!
Yes, it’s really happening! Luxury French fashion house, Lanvin, has teamed up with H&M to create a capsule collection for the high street store.
Since becoming the label’s artistic director in 2001, Alber Elbaz has brought a new life to the house. His use of ribbons, pearls and embellishments combined with sharp tailoring and exquisitely cut garments have made him a favorite among fashion’s finest.
In a statement Elbaz said that “H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less.”
Elbaz was careful to point out that he did not want to create a stepsister mass-market collection for the brand however. His enthusiasm for the project has come from the idea of “H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public.”
So when can we get our hands on it then?!
The collection will arrive on our shores on November 23rd. Not before we get a taster of what’s to come via an online film preview of the collection that is to be aired on November 1st at hm.com.
That’s not all! There are rumors that Elbaz has teamed up with make-up artist Pat McGrath to create a limited edition lipstick that will also be sold at H&M. The look: smart over sexy.
Girls, get in line!
