About this event

The Fabric Of A Nation Fashion Tour is an exciting new tour at EPIC Museum which celebrates the impact of Irish people on the global fashion industry, from textile production and fashion editors, to some of the runway's most influential designers.

This one-hour tour dives into the creative minds of Philip Treacy, Orla Kiely, Carmel Snow, Jonathan Anderson, and many more.

In celebration of the Dior Fall ‘27 Fashion Show, taking place in Trinity College on 4th December under Derry-man Jonathan Anderson’s creative direction, this tour explores fascinating stories from Irish diaspora design history, including:

- Wicklow woman Genevieve Figgis, the first Irish artist commissioned for Dior.

- The scandal of Olympic medallist Fanny Durack wearing a form-fitting swimsuit in 1912.

- Dalkey-born Carmel Snow, who became editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar.

Perfect for those passionate about fashion, design and the Irish diaspora’s impact on the industry.
