Ireland Fashion Week

Ireland Fashion Week

About the event

Ireland Fashion Week 2026 takes place from October 7 to 12, 2026, returning to Dublin and select locations for its second consecutive year. Powered by title sponsor Visa Ireland, the event expands to feature 75 designers across eight shows and showcases, aiming to boost local and international exposure for Irish design talent.

This is a fashion week that reflects Ireland – past, present, and future. One that’s inclusive, independent, and fiercely proud of its roots. One that’s built not for the industry elite, but for the entire Irish fashion community.

Founded by Ashley McDonnell – a powerhouse in global luxury and tech, and a lifelong champion of Irish talent. After years spent building international brands and amplifying voices abroad, she saw the same gap again and again: Irish designers had the vision, but not the visibility. So she decided to build the platform herself. One rooted in culture, not commerce. One that puts creativity first – and Ireland front and centre.
