Claire continues the growing trend in mmmetallic. Her look is casual and cute, with a sparkly, knitted dress over those comfortable jeans you’ll never throw out. The Disco does Dorothy shoes tie the whole look together.
Eric, a sound editor, again holds true to trend with the scarf of the street. His jacket is vintage and bought on ebay.
These lads prove you don’t always have to be be-heeled and uncomfortable on a Friday night in Dublin to get the look. Thankfully!

Fashion Filosofy’s Fashion Week Favourites

DCU Fashion Show 2007, Nokia, UCD, celebrity, designer, street style 21 Comments »

This week Fashion Filosofy attended some of Dublin’s most stylish events, cameras at the ready we snapped some great shots and these are some of our favourites.


There’s a very good reason the divine Miss Caroline Morahan won The Most Stylish of the Night at the Peter Marks VIP Style Awards and it was this gorgeous satin number. Created by home grown designer Kathy de Stafford, we love the intricate buttoned back and plunging neckline.

They say sex sells and sex definitely sells clothes! An expanse of bare skin and rippled abs showed off DCU’s student Fashion Show creations to great effect. Despite the irresistible models, we did manage to notice the clothes as well. Our attention was drawn to the very trendy way the show was styled, with hoodies worn as head pieces and tight fitting jeans with casual canvas trainers.

This fabulously feminine creation was our favourite aspect of the Nokia Young Fashion Designer Awards held at The Olympia. The work of Deirdre Brennan, who quite rightly won first place at the awards, is a collage of fabric and appliqué coming together to create a gown worthy of a princess. Check out the flowers and sequins which display an incredible attention to detail.


Grafton Design Academy students display some of this season’s hottest trends at the UCD student fashion show at The Point. Our favourite elements of these outfits are the hip, ankle length boots teamed with a sexy mini, the cute Mary Janes with a vintage flare and the uber trendy gold, metallic shift dress.

Southern Style

Cork, Opera House, street style 4 Comments »


Snapped outside the Cork Opera House, Tara O’Sullivan credits her boho style to the hippie influences of West Cork, where she grew up. She has teamed a grey buttoned dress over skinny, black jeans and tucked them into white flats that have a very unique tie. Tara certainly knows how to work the layered look, which can go so very wrong for some people. Her funky, coloured scarf and accessories really complete the outfit. She proves that it is not just what you wear but how you pull it together that matters.

I love Petria’s little ladybird jacket and her brooch which is from dolls.

Vive La France

Raphael, captured outside the Savoy Cinema, encapsulating every bit the understated, elegance of French style. Attributing his natural sense of fashion to his parents, he embodies everything that Fashion Filosofy admires about street style. He’s dressed simple but stylish with a jacket, scarf and Alpine hat. He wears his casual style without affectation or pretension, it is a part of him. Fashion is not just about brash colours and bold designs, but making a choice and committing to it. Not enough men wear hats any more and for bringing this little bit of French style to Irish streets, we salute him.

Franco-Irish chic

street style No Comments »

Franco-Irish student Nuala’s look is really cute yet grown-up at the same time. The nonchalant, cool way she held herself really caught my eye as she stood standing in Debenham’s on Henry Street and even though I had lost half my voice, I knew I’d be an idiot to let this opportunity go, so I asked her if I could take her pic (in my half-gone, Grudge-esque voice-from the film… and she happily obliged! )I love the maroon coat layered over a purple sweater over what looks like a very chic monochrome, lace dress. And how cute are the boots and the moose key chain hanging from her bag! (By the way the hat and the scarf totally make the outfit)
