Here's why we LOVE the Dublin Fashion Festival; the models are just as likely to reply to a compliment with "Thanks, Penneys", as us mere mortals are. You don't get that at London Fashion Week! What you will see on the catwalks in the city over the coming days, are clothes you would actually wear. Aside from a smattering of very pricey pieces, these are outfits you can definitely see yourself wearing to work, on a night out, or to your mate's wedding.
