Irish Fashion Lable: We Are
Islanders is a new Irish fashion label, using traditional Irish fabrics such as
Beetle Finished Wexford Linen and Tipperary Wool incorporated with sustainable
fabrics like Bamboo Silk and Salmon Leather Skin. The label
challenges the concept of heritage, merging the old and the new while fusing
art and fashion.
The
Autumn/Winter 2013 'Tidal' collection brings a contemporary twist on
traditional Irish materials through signature details of quilting, cording,
binding and hand printing. There’re some pieces in the collection that were
dyed by the high tide on Sandymount Strand during the instillation 4/704 as
part of Dublin Fringe.
