Here at FF we’ve been having the summer blues…So instead of just sitting round moping, we’ve decided to shake things up a bit here.

It’s been a little over a year since FF came into being and we think it’s time for a change! Nothing major, Street Style is sticking, we’re doing a bit more talking, news and reviews gets its own page and we’ve decided to do some stylin’ of our own!

We’d love to get more of you talking as well, so let us know what you think and what you’d like to see on FF. Fashion is democracy!

The Conrad Hotel, Dublin put on a feast of a fashion show themed on summer’s boutique festivals complete with music, drinks and beautiful fashion. The show was styled and directed by Jan Brierton, and the trends were themed under various summer styles from nautical-inspired stripes and stars to festival-going bohemian. The vibe was very dreamy summer’s day complete with flowers, trees and butterflies in the models’ hair.

All clothes, accessories and shoes from Pepe Jeans, Esprit, Tommy Hilfiger, Arnott’s, Hackett’s, Paul Alexander, Caru, Furla and Marks&Spencers.
