Hello world

This is a blog for anyone interested in fashion and the female mind. Its about the little things that don't get reported by the big mags. The stories and personal perspectives which make some of the most beautiful creations on earth possible.

I started writing when I was about fifteen. Like every great Irish writer I began with poetry and soon realised that a work of art took a little more then ten minutes and a failed crush to create.

I've been writing ever since and following the ins and outs of this island's boom and maybe bust. Its been a great journey so far. All the way from the Mourne Mountains to London fashion week.

I have no idea what is going to end up on this blog. Whether the stories I have to tell will be happy or sad and whether then people I meet will go on to change the world around them. I do know this. Too much happens every day even here is this amazing city which goes unchronicled. There are young designers who deserve a platform and artists who could compete with the very best. That's why I stay here to observe the world, edit an ambitious and exciting magazine and take the occasional trip off to the big smoke to see how the competition are doing.

London Fashion weeks starts on Saturday and I'll be there all next week to give it the Davina treatment. Fingers crossed there will be a local angle or two I can bring you through here.
