DAMHSA — Ireland Fashion Week 2026 🩰

A closer look at my DAMHSA look for @irelandfashionweek captured at Grey Abbey Medieval Monastery.
Inspired by the movement and rhythm of Irish dance, the design explores texture, structure and contemporary knitwear, using Rathlin wool from @futureislandisland and @donegalyarns .

I photographed the shoot myself, with my beautiful friend @rachelwallacee modelling. So special to bring this look to life together in such a beautiful setting. 🤍

DAMHSA — Ireland Fashion Week 2026 ✨

So proud to have showcased my work at Ireland Fashion Week for a second year , this time at the RDS Concert Hall for Damhsa on Saturday! 🤍

For this look, I explored the movement, energy and drama of Irish dance through knitwear, playing with texture, shape and movement to bring my design to life on the runway. Created using @donegalyarns and 100% Rathlin Island wool from the @futureislandisland project! 🧶

A special thank you to @laoiseoconnell and @yourjarofstyling for their incredible creative direction and styling. I’m so grateful to have been part of a show brought together by such talented people, and for the opportunity to share my work on this platform again.

Thank you to everyone behind the scenes who helped make Damhsa so special, from the hair, makeup and production teams to the dancers, musicians, models, photographers and partners. So much talent goes into creating a show like this, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone involved. 🫶
