Irish fashion favourite fee G puts the cool into casual with a new athleisure addition — and it’s sustainable, too

When Irish womenswear brand fee G — known for its bright colours and bold embellishments — is mentioned, many of us will immediately think of dreamy day dresses. “As a designer, you can be a little bit pigeon-holed,” admits fee G designer Fiona Heaney, who wanted to shake things up and bring something new to the brand with the DAY X fee G athleisure line.

How Dr Martens ‘stompy boots’ went from the anti-establishment footwear of choice to mainstream fashion icon status

Comfortable shoes have been the lasting legacy of the pandemic. So, it’s not surprising that Dr. Martens boots, or ‘Docs’, have graced so many celebrity feet in the past year. The functional footwear once associated with foot-weary factory workers, postal workers, and police is now enjoying another revival. Spotted on celebrities including Kourtney Kardashian, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Emma Watson and Selena Gomez — it seems that there isn’t a star who hasn’t adopted the stompy boots as a serious style statement.

The rise of slow footwear: Meet the people making and repairing shoes that will march down through the years

‘It’s the traditional cobbler’s story of making and selling one pair of shoes at a time.” This is how footwear designer Eileen Shields describes her newly branded eponymous label, which, since 2019, has been producing a small selection of sustainable, ethical, seasonless leather shoes, sold directly to customers on her website. Shields is part of a growing ‘slow footwear’ movement, which includes independent designers who refuse to compromise on either materials or morals in the production of their shoes, along with skilled craftspeople determined to promote a ‘repair and rewear’ approach to footwear.

From dressing Harry Styles to leading the way in gender-fluid design, Derry’s JW Anderson is having a moment

JW Anderson’s response to the pandemic sums up the fashion designer perfectly. While other labels took to social media in place of an in-real-life show, in the summer of 2020, Anderson reinvented the experience entirely. He revealed his Men’s Spring/Summer 2021 and his Women’s Resort 2021 Collection — for both his eponymous line and that of Loewe, the Spanish luxury house for whom he is creative director — with what became known as a show-in-a-box.

Actor turned artist Audrey Hamilton has launched her own slow-fashion line – and says buying one piece is enough

If life had gone to plan for Audrey Hamilton, I’d be chatting to her this afternoon about her latest TV show rather than her fashion pop-up in the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre. For 12 years, “acting was everything”. In 2014, she relocated to LA with her then boyfriend Jack Lowe — he’s now her husband — and spent three years on the gruelling audition circuit before securing her big break: the leading role in a series for a streaming giant. On the first day of filming, she sat in her trailer (it even had her name on it) on the Warner Bros lot, texting family and friends in euphoric disbelief. But then the assistant director knocked on the door and politely said: “Sorry, but we have to release you from set” — a Hollywood euphemism for “You’re fired”.

After 34 years as US Vogue’s reigning editor, is it time for Anna Wintour to hang up her Manolos?

Iconic, feared and revered; Anna Wintour, the famously inscrutable editor of American Vogue, has always remained an elegant enigma despite being the most powerful woman in fashion. Her signature look, of heavy-fringed bob, dark sunglasses and graphic slenderness, is even recognised by people with negligible interest in fashion. Her consistency suggests that while Wintour may be the arbiter of taste and the one who decides who and what is in or out, she herself doesn’t succumb to transient trends. Her polished froideur is part of her brand, along with her fearsome reputation, formidable work ethic, dedication to micro-managing every aspect of Vogue and her refusal to do small talk. She is a busy career woman making thousands of decisions every week, who simply doesn’t have time to care what the rest of the world thinks. Or does she?
