WEARINGIRISH PRESENTS SNÁITHE + PANEL

WearingIrish was selected to produce an evening at the prestigious 1st Irish Festival by Origin Theatre. The sold-out show consisted of the New York premiere screening of the Snáithe documentary followed by a signature WearingIrish salon conversation.

SHOW

The acclaimed documentary, created and directed by Ciara Nic Chormaic, traces the story of Irish fashion through the eyes of contemporary designers and historians. What inspires today’s Irish designers? What has shaped their vision? Do the Irish even have a fashion identity? Fusing the documentary with perspectives from a live panel, a rich and transformative story of Irish fashion design was revealed.
