Join fashion lecturer, Dean Liggett, for a talk exploring the impact creatives from across the island of Ireland have had on contemporary fashion from the nineteenth century until today.
This talk will highlight a wide network of designers, textile innovators, fabric producers, creative specialists and image-makers who have helped shape international style across the major fashion capitals. Moving beyond just the well-known figures, it focuses on often-overlooked contributors working behind the scenes in ateliers, mills, studios, and workshops whose skills have influenced materials, construction, and visual identity in fashion.
