The 2020 Irish Fashion Innovation Awards, hosted by Goldenegg Productions, will present a spectacular showcase from Ireland’s most promising designers at The Galmont Hotel & Spa in Galway.
The show will feature the most exciting Irish design talent across a range of disciplines – fashion, millinery, jewellery and accessories. Many of the designers featured in the past have already established themselves in markets as diverse as New York, Ibiza and London.
