Ireland’s first ever fashion week is here! Starting on October 6th to 10th, the excitement of this debut event is becoming real.

Ireland Fashion Week will span across the country, from historic Dublin sites to scenic Connemara and many other venues across the country. It is set to offer a fresh platform for Irish designers to shine.

Across the five days, the event will spotlight 55 designers across seven shows, including flagship runway shows, graduate showcases, events and exhibitions.

Like most fashion weeks, some shows will be exclusive to industry insiders, but Ireland wants to change the format and take a more inclusive approach as certain shows and events will be open to the public, with tickets going on sale this week.

Below you will find all the latest information on the show’s locations, ticket information, and who will be on the stage.
