New collection by Eilis Boyle

 Incredible new collection by Eilis Boyle

so beautiful

Eilis talks often on her blog about 

the struggles of being creative and 

having to pay the electricity bill

This collection was all about bursting through

that struggle and trying to find her

"true identity"

through design

I believe she succeeded

to see more go here 

........ and she used a Helen James headpiece
in the shot above

never looked so good

Magnificent Irish Fashion

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 

Eilis Boyle

Tim Ryan

Joanne Hynes

Aine Mcdonnell

Kate and Ava

John Rocha

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.

I need to say Thank You to my friend  Eilis Boyle  who recently used my Florica headpieces and belts in this dreamy shoot.

Eilis' clothes are completely elegant and timeless and each one is so beautifully made with french seams and silk linings they not only look good but feel good to wear too ( I speak from experience)

If you are in the Dublin area you must visit her shop BOW in Powerscourt Townhouse. BOW is a venture between  Eilis and 3 other designers Matt Doody, Momuse jewelry and Wendy's Wardrobe.
