The hottest and most fashionable jumper to wear right now . . . is an Aran

There is nothing like a genuine Aran Knit to keep you warm … and ahead of the fashion pack … this season.

Unlike other ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ style trends, the Aran has survived because it is timeless and so gorgeous! The French may have their Breton stripes but we have the Aran . . . and the world agrees with Hollywood royalty and celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace, Steve McQueen, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and many, many more proudly adding the distinctive cable knit to their everyday sartorial uniform.

So we are delighted that so many of our Upfront Models have modelled this iconic piece of knitwear, in so many exciting designs all from Aran Sweater Market.

Smart . . . but casual and effortlessly stylish

Upfront Models Aisling and Naoimh showcased A/W style from one of Ireland's longest established and most loved family owned boutiques - Hannons of Castleisland - on RTE Today.

A firm favourite since the 1940’s and dressing women for over 3 generations, Hannons of Castleisland has survived numerous recessions - and a Pandemic - because they know how to dress women of all ages and sizes to look and feel their very best, every single day.

This year they are focussing on dressing up - for everyday life. Their relaxed style is both chic and comfortable and, as they are committed to quality, everything is beautifully made to last a lifetime.

You can shop online at www.hannons.ie . . . but even better . . . make a day of it, and visit them in store in the heart of the buzzy town of Castleisland in the heart of County Kerry. Renowned as ‘the fashion capital of Kerry’ - you won’t be disappointed !

Celebrating Irish Designers and Boutiques

We all enjoyed a wonderful day shooting a fashion segment for RTE Today on the beautiful Dingle Peninsula for Holden Leathergoods, Brian de Staic and La Boheme in Dingle.

An Upfront Original . . . Fiona G - was home from the US - and joined her Agency colleague Tamara to showcase the gorgeous A/W collections.

Special thanks to Conor and Clare Holden for the use of their truly beautiful workshop as our location on the day. The star of the show was of course - Jade - Holden’s very shy (but so pretty) puppy - who was bribed with cookies into modelling their bespoke leather collar and leads !

Shop all the looks online and in real life (if you are lucky enough to visit Dingle soon)

Experience Art Deco Opulence . . . at the Glasshouse

Ireland’s most fashionable new venue - the super stylish The Glasshouse at the Montenotte Hotel & Spa in Cork, not only boasts truly opulent art deco inspired interiors, it’s own GIN, an unparalleled cocktail list and panoramic views of Cork City. . . . but it is also THE PLACE to dress up, meet friends old and new and have a truly magical and memorable night out.

We were delighted to be involved in the production of the launch shoot - as Upfront Models Maeve Carey, Emily O’Donoghue and Aishling O’Connell were the faces of this exciting new venue.

Thank you to Ray Kelleher and the team for having us. We promise to be back (many, many times!)
