When: February 13
Where: Embassy of Ireland, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates,
Ashley McDonnell’s chart-topping podcast returns for a sixth season and promises to take listeners on a grand-podcast-tour of the world. Reaching 50 million listeners worldwide, this podcast is growing from strength to strength. In ten new episodes, Ashley interviews industry titans to discuss themes of fashion, technology and sustainability, while taking a deep-dive into her guests’ personal lives. These include Lorraine Keane, broadcaster and founder of Fashion Relief; AI and fashion expert Anne-Marie Tomchak; Silvana Landa, founder of LANDA; Lia Cowan, designer and stylist, and more.
In the first episode, Ashley interviews styling expert, art director and all-round powerhouse in the Irish fashion scene, Zeda, who opens up up about the evolution of style as a form of personal empowerment, the transformative power of collaboration and how she finds creativity in unexpected places. The key takeaway? True artistry comes from being unapologetically yourself.
In a one-of-a-kind live podcast episode, Ashley will interview a panel of fashion experts – Akash Mehta of Fable and Mane, Dr Vali of the By Dr Vali clinic in London’s Selfridges, Jamie Ray of Buttermilk Agency and Anneliese Duffy Fallon, founder of The Linen Shirt Company and Fashion Connect Ireland – where they’ll explore the intersection of luxury, technology and global culture. There’s also a fashion show featuring 40 looks from 14 Irish designers in front of over three hundred guests from around the world, with key opinion leaders travelling to attend. Irish singer-songwriter Lyra will wrap up the evening with a performance. Find out more here: www.techpoweredluxury.substack.com.
Glad We Had This Chat @carolinehirons
When: February 24
Where: 3Olympia, Dublin
Irish beauty entrepreneur Aimee Connolly of Sculpted by Aimee has been announced as the special guest at Caroline Hirons’ chat show. One of the UK’s leading skincare experts, Hirons is known for her honest take on the beauty world and her podcast is renowned for sending recommended products stratospheric. The best-selling author of Skincare: The New Edit literally grew up around the beauty industry, with her mother and grandmother working in the industry from the 1960s onwards. From her first day on the counter in Harvey Nichols in 1997, Caroline fell in love with skincare and went on to qualify in beauty therapy, later leaving the shop floor for more senior roles within the famous department store. In 2008, she began consulting for brands and retailers, advising some of the biggest names in the beauty industry. In 2010 she launched her blog, which quickly amassed millions of followers, and since then she’s used her science-backed knowledge to launch her own brands, including Skin Rocks, the award-winning skincare range and app.
Join her on her first ever tour as she brings her popular podcast to the Olympia. As with the podcast, the Unfiltered tour will be a one-stop shop for all things beauty, skincare and beyond, including an on-stage skincare demo and audience questions. Hirons said: “My podcast has been a labour of love, in the best possible way. I’m thrilled to take it to the next level and around the country with this brand new tour. Expect entertaining guests, discussing anything and everything, with a healthy dose of beauty chat in between, before we get into the questions that you want to ask about your skincare routine.” A unique opportunity to hear from two hugely successful entrepreneurs in the make-up world. Tickets from €37.30. www.3olympia.ie
