‘Invest in key pieces’: Top style advice from Clémentine MacNeice
Last month, Clémentine MacNeice's chic and sophisticated fashion sense earned her the title of Style Icon of the Year at the inaugural SHEmazing HP Awards.
She is one of the most established stylists in the country today, but how did she make it to the top of her game?
Having originally set out to complete a degree at Trinity College, Clémentine's journey into the industry was somewhat unconventional.
English and Drama was her subject of choice, however, it was the costume design module that really ignited her imagination, and inspired her to pursue a career as a stylist.
Upon making the decision to jump head first into the world of fashion, Clémentine took various style-related roles in an effort to establish herself in the industry she loved so much.
Starting at the bottom, she offered her style skills for free, before eventually making a name for herself as a freelance stylist.
Today, she is one of Ireland's most sought-after stylists and boasts an impressive list of clients, including TV3's Anna Daly, Karen Koster and Lucy Kennedy, as well as Dancing With the Stars presenter, Amanda Byram.
The stylist achieves her timeless look by combining contemporary and vintage pieces, but what is her number one style tip?
"Invest in key pieces. Don't waste your money on trends and be daring!"
And as for the guys, Clém reckons our very own Conor McGregor has hit the nail on the head when it comes to out-there fashion choices.
So, with a keen eye for style and a wardrobe most women would kill for, it's no wonder Clémentine MacNeice was crowned our Style Icon of the Year.
