Models wearing Roxy and Quiksilver

Quiksilver and Roxy celebrated the opening of their first flagship store on the ground floor of St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre amidst Hawaiian music, international surfers and snowboarders and mini hamburgers!

Fashion Filosofy was there to catch all the stylish peeps who were channeling a distinct “Surfer in the City” cool. We saw girls mixing up Roxy dresses with opaque tights and ankle-boots and guys in baggy jeans and Quiksilver hoodies.

Here’s what we snapped, while taking a break from drooling over the cutest Roxy frocks. We’re wishing it was summer already!
