Time for something special on this bright but chilly Thursday!

We recently collaborated with photographer extraordinaire David Frain and vintage hair and make-up masters Locks and Lashes.

The shoot took place on a freezing but thankfully sunny winter morning through in city centre locations in Dublin.

I think you'll agree that the results are stunning!

The shoot highlights the many different styles achievable with a vintage wedding dress.

Not only is the wedding dress important but so too are the  perfectly chosen accessories.

We are eagerly awaiting a delivery of our new vintage collection which will soon be flying transatlantic, demand will be high to see these dresses so make sure you call 01 6111842 or email info@dirtyfabulous.com now for your appointment.

We had a lot of fun on the shoot and make sure you check out our friends sites.

David is the perfect photographer to work with couples on their big day.

Locks and Lashes offer beautiful vintage hair and make-up for any special occasion.

The clothing worn by our male model was provided by the ever helpful guys at Tango's Dress Hire

Oh You DIVA!

We're very excited to be hosting the upcoming exhibition of sculptor, Ayelet Lalor's, new DIVA collection.

The Divas have changed and evolved over a twelve year period and in her latest collection Ayelet has drawn inspiration from vintage style. A number of the sculptures have been designed around some of our Dirty Fabulous dresses. 

So where else to exhibit these gorgeous Divas than next to the inspirational dresses from which they were created! 

The DIVA exhibition will launch on the 24th of November and will stay in-store until the 21st of December when we close for Christmas merriment! (More on that very soon!)

 We will still be running by appointment only so do book in if you fancy having a look at the Divas.

Below are a selection of drawings and finished sculptures along with some of the dresses that inspired them.

For a full look at the creative process involved in creating the Divas pop over to the Diva Exhibit blog.

The finished sculpture!

Ayelet's beautiful sketches are available to buy.

 If you fancy a sketch of a previous Dirty Fabulous purchase that you treasure, Ayelet will also be available for commissions. What a glamorous little treat for yourself!
