An evening of fashion, creativity and collaboration 💫☘️
On Thursday, April 24th, the Cartier Espace at Paul Sheeran Jewellers on Chatham Street, Dublin, set the stage for a truly extraordinary evening celebrating Irish fashion, luxury and the power of collaboration. ✨
Hosted by Ashley McDonnell, the live event brought together the extraordinary panel of Irish women who were instrumental in the success of Live from Abu Dhabi, the largest showcase of Irish design in the Middle East to date, that took place in February. ⭐️
The evening’s theme, “The Making of Live from Abu Dhabi: From Fashion Designers and Invites to Backstage Makeup & Beyond,” offered an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creativity and teamwork that powered this groundbreaking event.
The conversation featured insights from Lesley Keane, Creative Director of Ayu Cosmetics; Jess Colivet, personal stylist and content creator; Anne O’Shea, producer and stylist; Jenny Johnston, CEO of Azure Communications, and, of course, our host, Ashley McDonnell.
These trailblazers shared their journeys of bridging Irish creativity with a global audience, highlighting the vision and collaboration that brought the showcase to life. ❤️
