The Irish Designer Sample Sale Event (IDSS) returns to Cork city from 5pm on Friday April 20 for its second annual showing of the very best in contemporary Irish fashion and accessory design. 

The two-day extravaganza kicks off with a Sample Sale Shindig, where style-savvy shoppers will get the chance to purchase some gorgeous Irish fashion at a fraction of the retail cost. 

The pieces on offer include samples used for photoshoots, prototypes for production and items previously displayed in store, as well as end of line stock. 

Free and open to the general public, bargain-hunters will not only get to meet some of Ireland's best-loved designers, but they'll also be treated to complimentary drinks from Cork's Stonewell and tunes spinning into the evening. 

Speaking about the event, founding member of the collective, Emma Manley, said: "I'm so excited to be coming back to St. Peter's, Cork with our Irish Designer Sample Sale for the second time, For us designers, we love meeting our customers while they shop and we talk all things fashion and Irish design!"

The event will also feature Theo & George by Philadelphia designer, Katie O'Riordan, as well as work from 2015's 'Irish Designer of the Year', Jill De Burca.

Roz Purcell stepped out at the Qatar Airways Gala this week wearing the most amazing two piece, and the question on everyones lips was 'where did she get it?'

Thankfully, the model-turned-influencer shared the details of her stunning outfit with her 194,000 followers on Instagram.

New Irish fashion label VAENO is the premium collection responsible for Roz's chic, minimalist look.

VAENO is a new Irish fashion concept which aims to empower the women through effortless tailoring.

A refreshing change from fast fashion, the brand promotes the curation of wardrobe stocked with interchangeable separates.

This has led VAENO to create an edited capsule of classic, timeless essentials that work for all occassions.

The concept, whose motto is 'with the right components, a woman can achieve anything,' is the creative endeavour of Nadya Gaughran and Louise Merrick.

The pair of entrepreneurs have a combined extensive experience in fashion and retail, and the collection reflects their understanding of female form and shape.

The emphasis is on fit, cut and quality, to create timeless, elegant and achingly stylish ensembles. 

The collection includes silk bodysuits, simple shift dresses, and well cut, structured two-pieces, much like Roz's. 

We're dying to see more from this designer duo!
