This episode features Irish fashion designer Helen Steele, whose debut collaboration with Dunnes Stores is live now. Her collaboration with graffiti artist Maser is coming soon to Costume in Dublin.
We didn't get to talk about this but Helen also has a gorgeous line of rugs with Ceadogán Rugmakers - you can see them here.
Jump the Hedges is a brand that creates incredible yoga and sports bags - "bags for activity" - from discarded truck tarps. Check out the website.
Helen talks about The Modist and modest fashion. Net-a-Porter's Modest category* really does have some gorgeous pieces.
If you stayed interested throughout my Islam / modesty ramble, you might want to watch the Little Mix video I'm talking about. Or you can read Female Chauvinist Pigs*, if you haven't already.
Check out the Model Alliance, which was set up to protect the rights of working models in the fashion industry.
Not Another Agency is the agency Halle Steele is signed to, in case you're interested!
Maser's website is here. If you don't know his work, do a quick Google Image search and enjoy.
