IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EMPORIUM KALU
Dressing up is a pleasure, thanks to the array of cool brands and covetable buys at Emporium Kalu …
Naas boutique Emporium Kalu is a stalwart on the Irish fashion scene – and with good reason. Its roster of buzzy brands – from Instagram-worthy labels like Róhe, Bernadette and Vivetta, to Irish brands steeped in luxury such as The Landskein, Sian Jacobs and Sphere One – is more than appealing. Then there are the classics: Vivienne Westwood’s body-skimming dresses are heavy on appeal, no matter what the season, while Di Stavnitser specialises in tailored evening wear that is fluid, draped and artfully structured. In essence, it’s a go-to destination if you want to embrace elegance with edge.
On our radar now is Swedish label Stylein which, for AW25, has a decadent palette of toffees, espressos, rich creams and sultry blacks (as well as, on the basics side, some excellent shirting). As for footwear, we’re coveting cool loafers from Dear Frances, a brand we’ve had our eye on for some time. If you’re looking to tap into what’s cool, make Amsterdam brand Róhe – seek out its viral toggle-detail jackets and savvy knits – your go-to. We love its minimalism-with-a-twist aesthetic. Then there’s ADNYM, makers of exceptional suiting that has a distinct, borrowed-from-the-boys feeling: invest in a piece to channel your inner Diane Keaton (as expertly modelled by co-owner Louise Flanagan here).
With an ethos of craftsmanship and character, Flanagan and co-owner Kate O’Dwyer have created, as they say, a “rare mecca for the fashion conscious” where you can experience the joy of great clothes. We couldn’t agree more! But, of course, it’s not just about the clothes, either: visit Emporium Kalu and you’ll discover something new, soak up the buzzy energy and leave feeling more sophisticated then when you came in.
