and i keep thinking it's you in post #85

If you mean the girl on the computer... I wish I could afford to use net cafes.

Thanks for the orange upgrade.

Don't forget Sharon Wauchob in Paris too! Perhaps the most internationally successful Celtic designer.

^ I would have guessed John Rocha or Philip Treacy. My closed view of the world.

I haven't actually heard of that shop, Scott! To be honest, I'm relatively unfamiliar with very high-end shops. They're kind-of contained in their own area... and I avoid it, because of my poverty, and because I fear it'll somehow be pay-per-view.



On a personal note, I continue to live in a small sea-side village.
...That's lovely about your great grandmother...
I myself have no craft skills to speak of.

P.S. I know you didn't mention what type of shop it was, but since it didn't ring a bell, I just assumed.

However, I do know some great shops full of handwork (a weakness of yours I know ) .
In this little shop here - 'Sé Sí' ('He She' in Irish) the workers make the clothes they sell in the shop while sitting on a chair/assisting etc.
In fact, one of the signs in the window says that if you make clothes, they will sell them for you in there. There's also a market (Cows' Lane market) where people sell some wonderful handmade clothes/accessories.

Strawberry...so many looks I love...can't believe it's just another day in Dublin...

And it's amazing to see your shots develop and improve as the thread goes on .

Ever thought of being a paparazzo ?

 

[Fintan]

hey strawberry Sharon Wauchob was on Off the Rails a while back;
http://www.rte.ie/tv/offtherails/20050126section5.html

My list of links wasnt intended to be complete, just a cross section of upmarket contemporary designers, traditional and up and coming designers. Feel free to add more links

I do agree about Cows lane market, 2 of the links up there are Cows Lane designers, imho its the coolest place to be in Dublin on a saturday.B)

 

[softgrey]

love it strawberry...

so much variety...
i want a skirt that swirls when i walk and gets dirty too!!!...
...that must be my fave pic!!

 

[iperlchen]

I want the entire last outfit in #96

I didn't even know Sharon Wauchob and John Rocha were Irish, they're among my fave designers. I guess I like Ireland, maybe there's a stream of Celtic blood going through my vains that makes me biased? I always loved those Celtic Myst CDs my parents bought and Lord of the Dance. Wait, is the latter an Irish thing?

I agree you would make a great paparazzo That young man sitting on his daily stairs, suspecting nothing when a girl in strawberry disguise walks towards him. It's getting a little creepy now Strawb... what's the next step?

I was actually many moons away from him. Most of the photos are thanks to a thing called zoom. B)

Glad you like them Quirkycool, soft, perlefine.

I'll have more tomorrow... though I hope it isn't raining since my umbrella is a giant blue rabbit, child style, and it usually helps if people aren't staring before you even start with the camera.

OMG,Strawberry...maybe I should make a trip to Dublin soon! How precise does the work have to be for one's work to be acquired?

But no,the shop is "sort of" high-end. They sell relatively obscure Belgian,Anna Heylen there. Mostly small designers,actually. Or so they did at the time of the airing. Some darling Irish stylist was giving a tour of some of the shops there.

And I completely forgot about Treacy! And I didn't know that Rocha was either.

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

Well, John Rocha is originally from Hong Kong, but his mother's Irish and he moved here when young and seems to be considered a Celtic designer since he focuses mostly on Irish materials/techniques. (linen/crochet/wool)

And yes Scott, come ...they'll want your talents, I've no doubt!!

 

[Scott]

Oh,did you see my pieces on the "jewellery" thread?

Well,it's definitely been on my agenda Hopefully,if I can get settled in Paris after this upcoming season,I'll have ample reason.

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

I did see those pieces Scott

Took some more today:

 

[Curious]

Love the stripey/boot girl! Bought a stripey top for myself today

[QuirkyCool]

YAY,another installment!! I like the floral bag the one girl has,and of course the stripey boot girl too!!

I see nearly everyone is wearing meassenger type bags...

Is this a particular part of Dublin,Strawberry?

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

I only noticed this whole messenger bag thing since I started taking pictures. I guess I was blind before I needed to see.

I just take the photos on my way around... different parts... though they look much the same.
