The Goddess and the Crown. Grainne Maher and Una Rodden closed Belfast Fashionweek's Designer Night in the Europa hotel to an enthusiastic and excited bunch on Thursday night. Grainne Maher Millinery's Pluck & Devour range being the Crown. Una Rodden's stunning full-length gowns being the Goddess.
Pluck & Devour displayed creative headpieces in a variety of luxe yellows, turquoise blues, blood reds and emerald greens to name a few. Perspex by the bucket loads, a lace and Swarovski crystal brimmed hat and a statement clear collar were the overall highlights. All arriving down the catwalk to an epic Aretha Franklin remixed 'R.E.S.P.E.C.T'. Something Grainne undoubtedly has earned among the industry professionals and the fashion conscious population of Northern Ireland.
P.S. I need a white perspex Pegasus necklace and the equally awesome seahorse necklace in my life right now please.
Una Rodden's turn swiftly followed for a grand finish with a little help from the Amy Whinehouse hit 'Back To Black' as her exquisite garments took to the runway. Greek Goddess elements were incorporated in metallic gold, midnight blue and clean cut white numbers. Whilst other standout designs came in the form of ocean spray high-waisted pleated skirts, pearl rimmed perter-pan collared shirts and a silver floral embroidered one shouldered organza frock for the finale.
Truly a marvelous night with immense talent on show at every step of the pink glittered catwalk. By far one of the best shows I've had the pleasure of attending. Long may the creative flare of these local designers shine and ultimately flourish.
