Ireland Fashion Week is proud to welcome Sinéad O'Dwyer to City Hall for a solo runway presentation as part of Ireland Fashion Week 2026, powered by Visa. One of Ireland’s most award-winning female designers, Sinéad has achieved a remarkable international career, establishing herself as one of the country’s most exciting voices in contemporary fashion. From a breakout presentation at Copenhagen Fashion Week, to six seasons of British Fashion Council NEWGEN support, the Zalando Visionary Award, the Golden Fleece Award and selection as a semi-finalist for the 2025 LVMH Prize, her rise has been extraordinary. This past summer, Sinéad presented at the V&A in London to headline its acclaimed Fashion in Motion series, creating 15 looks celebrating her distinctive approach to body inclusivity, adaptive sizing and representation within fashion. The programme places her alongside a lineage of designers previously featured by the V&A including Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, YOHJI YAMAMOTO Inc. and ERDEM. At the heart of Sinéad’s work is a commitment to inclusivity, accessibility and challenging conventional sizing within fashion, using innovative pattern-cutting and design to create for a diversity of bodies. Following last year’s City Hall presentation with Paul Costelloe, we continue our mission to bring extraordinary Irish talent home. This October, Sinéad O’Dwyer takes City Hall. Friday 9 October.

The World of Aoife McNamara. Aoife Mc Namara returns to Ireland Fashion Week on October 12th to present her newest collection: ‘The World of Aoife McNamara’ at The Manor at Mount Juliet Estate, Co Kilkenny. At Aoife McNamara, their world is not just about clothing, it's a way of being: from early morning horse back riding, to the feeling of Irish wool between your fingers, to muddy boots and a bit of craic. Aoife's world is alive, it's imperfect and raw, but most importantly it's rooted in home. She we can't wait for you to step inside. Artwork by Gemma Cowen.

Meaning Women in Irish, MNÁ is created for women who have outgrown trends - but never their sense of self. Taking its name from Sinéad O’Connor’s iconic song, TROY is a reflection on resilience, reinvention and strength, expressed through elevated silhouettes, luxurious fabrications and vintage-inspired shapes reimagined for today. A refined rebellion. A new Irish label. The beginning of MNÁ. MNÁ presents TROY at Ireland Fashion Week 2026, powered by Visa. Sunday 11 October. The Stapleton, Dublin.
