This incredible fashion shoot was created by Stylist Jan Brierton and Photographer Lorna Fitzsimons
Here are some interesting facts about this shoot
1 Most of the pieces created are by Irish designers
Aine Mcdonnell
and me: Helen James
2 The shoot was styled and shot and sent out to major newspapers and magazines in Ireland
3 It was never published................................
Why? Why was this innovative and remarkable shoot, that celebrates the talent in this country, never used.
You would think that with tight budgets Periodicals would jump at the chance to publish these images that are handed to them on a platter!
I do not understand
Maybe one of you; my readers, know why
Maybe one of you works in the print industry here and you can explain why these pictures which are magnificent and extol the work being created here have never before seen the light of day.
UPDATE: After the incredible response to these images publishing them may be pursued once more.
I will keep you updated and thanks for all your encouraging words.

Absolutely stunning. Unbelievable that we haven't been able to see this in print here.
ReplyDeleteYes it is unbelievable!!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful beautiful beautiful ... MUST get sent to the mags again.
ReplyDeleteno cleavage or legs in sight.. that could be the reason!
ReplyDeletedepending on the mags-maybe too artistically presented. which is why I love them-they are in the exact mold of the Ackerman or French fashion illus. I think they are absolutely brilliant! pgt
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout, an exquisite delight for the eyes.
ReplyDeletethank you everyone for the positive feed back, and thank you helen for the rant!!!
ReplyDeletemuch love
Jan
I am so glad these amazing images finally got an airing and to such an appreciative audience! I knew you guys would love them x
ReplyDeleteIt's all in the stance. Magnificent. In agreement with SS on the absence of cleavage and legs.
ReplyDeleteI cannot explain. I can only say boo to them and yay to you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI was at the Louver with a friend in search of Greek early classical geometric figural terracottas. we found them, small and exquisite, they looked like they were wearing tiny Fortuny gowns(of course they were the original source of his inspiration). The fabulous styling of this fashion spread reminds me of these exquisite, and timeless sculptures. I understand when things are too sophisticated, and innovative Many people do not get it. Do not give up, this is really good.
ReplyDeleteThank you all, Debra lovely comparison, and you are right we must not give up......
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above these are beautifully. The mind boggles!
ReplyDeleteexcellent. and lovely, fantastic work. Sorry I am leaving Ireland!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame. These are beautiful clothes, exquisitely photographed, and a credit to everyone involved. That last ensemble in grey is a wonder. If I saw any of these on an Irish magazine cover I'd buy it like a shot.
ReplyDeleteBeauty, style, elegance. This shoot deserves to be on the cover of Vogue
ReplyDeleteoh everything is so perfect, absolutly breathtaking... unbelievable it's never published, if it does and it should i would love to have a copy.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
