Unicorn.

Unicorn is a women's designerwear label founded by Sophie Rieu in 05. Sophie is French; she fell in love with Ireland while on holiday with her parents as a teenager and has lived in Ireland since 94. She studied journalism in DIT and went on to work as a freelancer for about three years by which time she was selected by Green MEP Patricia Mc Kenna to become her press officer. She studied design at the Grafton Academy as a hobby while working in the European Parliament, and got totally hooked (she used to knit and always loved fashion since a wee girl) and then decided to go full time as a designer. She set up Unicorn Design in 03 and sold directly to clients from capsule collections made from organic/fair trade cotton. As the company grew and designs became popular she then created the first collection of designerwear in 05 with more elaborate designs made from an array of carefully chosen exquisite natural and organic fabrics. The label Unicorn is about timeless understated elegance with a pinch of playful quirkiness plus added ethics on the environmental and social front. The label has won a no of awards including a Top 50 New product at Showcase 08 award and the Best Creative Designer award 08 in a public poll run by the USA consultancy Chic Eco. Unicorn has been stocked throughout Ireland as well as the USA; Japan; Germany and the UK.

Its main current stockists are in Ireland, among them the Kilkenny shops in Dublin and Galway; Couture in Naas; Frock in Wexford and Ail Ruin in Clarinbridge...

What a great Idea!!

This is the item of clothing every girl should have in her wardrobe. The Atir body sculpting slip which covers all those little lumps and bumps we want to conceal when wearing our favourite dress. It was launched in June and is already flying off the shelves. The slip is priced at €49.95. I think its a very good price considering you can wear it under every dress with its adjustable straps. To get your hands on one of these staples they are currently available in Yasmine G in Castlebar, Beverley Hills-Castlebar, Marguerites-Castlebar, Boutique Collette-Westport, Meg- Claremorris, Flair- Ballina, and Finesse-Foxford.

It can also be purchased directly from Rita Mylett the lady behind "The Atir" 0n 087 0506463

New BB Dakota A/W Collection

BB Dakota has never been sold outside of the USA until now and Zuku is very excited to bring it to you! Gloria Brandes owner and designer brings her distinctive style to her Fall collection, she creates inspirational fashion at affordable prices. According to Brandes " price snobbery is an out-dated concept, when Stella Mc Cartney and Galliano have paved the way in collaborations with popular retailers such as H&M and Target " The collection features leather jackets, wool coats and jackets, leather mini skirts and leggings, fur gilets, lace blouses and pretty knitwear! Also attached you will see the Press Book from BB Dakota, it seems that price snobbery doesn't bother the celebrity following either with stars such as Miley Cyrus, Rihanna & Giuliana Depandi all pictured wearing her designs.
