presenting, documenting and discussing fashion, particularly of the circular and Vintage variety.

Hello, I’m Irene and I’m fixated with the role of your clothes.

Click on my showreel above for a little taste of what it is I actually do

Be it memories of travel, adventure, work, play or love, we recall our lives in technicolour with the clothing we wore front and centre in our mind’s eye. The styles we wear remind us of the people we were. I don’t know about you but I think that’s a pretty cool pay off for an everyday activity.

Services

From delivering traffic news on the national airwaves, to delivering biscuit samples to traffic-jammed drivers whilst dressed as a Tiger, this is a career that has been built on colourful strategic moves. Or maybe that was colourful Vintage dresses…

Whatever the route, all paths have led to here, with communication, delivery and style consistently at the heart of what I do. I work with Irish and International brands to help to show the world their beautiful work.

One-To-One

Having hit the halfway mark, I am now ‘openly’ pregnant for as long as I was keeping it to myself (sorry, ‘ourselves’. There is an other-half involved in this which means, according to the modern language of all things prenatal, we must now always refer to ‘us’ being pregnant. I haven’t seen too much swelling, stretch marks or bloating around his person but maybe he’s just lucky).

Media

Be it in front of the camera, behind the mic or scribing the text, words and connection are at the heart of everything I do in my work. Lots and lots of words (you wouldn’t describe my communication as sparse).

THE WAY WE WORE, EASTER 2020
THE WAY WE WORE, EASTER 2020

In early April 2020 we were four weeks into our first ever Lockdown, Easter almost upon us, and I, like so many others, was apparently in need of some feeling of connection. Anything at all. I just missed people.

I posted a spontaneous little video to Instagram suggesting that it might be a nice idea to document who we were at this moment, in this period like no other that would surely become one of the most significant times in history. Certainly, it was to be an Easter like no other before or again in the future (surely??).

I came up with The Way We Wore: a sort of virtual time capsule capturing who we were when: a snapshot of what we wore; who we were; where we were residing; how we were spending our days

WHAT’S IN THE (MATERNITY) BAG?

Birth in times of COVID – who the hell thought we’d be here?

Sometimes, I think the most effective way to feel in control is to simply control the controllable. So, the nesting might be turbo and the planning pedantic; that’s all good. Whatever gives you a sense of purpose and lets you feel in command is exactly the undertaking for you at this time.

I started compiling a ‘concise’ list for my hospital bag this week – just to tick things off as I went, making for an efficient packing process, you understand. Then for no reason at all, I began elaborating on my list…
