The language is colorful and probably not safe for work - you have been warned!

Stripes conjure up a lot of different images; the stereotypical French man with garlic around his neck; Coco Chanel sitting on a beach; an American prisoner in the early 20th century; a fisherman bobbing in a wooden boat; a man rowing a gondola in Venice.

In modern times, stripes offer an easy pattern for fashion to use and manipulate in creating fresh, clean designs. In a contrast to the floral trend this season, stripes offer a more graphic punch, with contrasting colors, and an array of different fabrics and styles, there is an item to capture the quirky mood of everyone looking to get lined this summer.

Snow storms couldn’t keep me away from my Irish Christmas at home in Dublin, but they are curtailing many of the festivities. After a few days cooped up in the house with cups of Barry’s tea and news reports of airport closures, it was time to venture out into the unprecedented 10inches of snow. Grafton Street, the local pub and Christmas parties were calling.

As Thanksgiving approaches I’m beginning to see why Americans call this season “The Holidays”. It would seem that the celebrations which an Irish girl such as myself would associate with Christmas begin on November 25th.

At the moment there are lingering pumpkins as well as emerging displays of red bows, fairy lights and holly around the city making it a bit confusing for a first-timer but there’s one sure indication of the festive season for me, and that’s the sales.

It’s bizarre for an Irish person to be relieved to see the end of those long summer days and the beginning of bitterly cold, dark nights but after the hottest summer ever recorded in New York my girls and I couldn’t be happier.

The truth is that Irish women know how to dress for the cold. Our pale legs, sweaty faces and un-toned torsos don’t fare so well in the blistering heat. Accessories seem like just one more item to carry on our backs through the desert that is a Manhattan summer and humidity does no favors for our naturally frizzy hair.

The first sign of the chill coming in mid-September brought out jackets and socks that had been abandoned since the previous March and now that it’s officially winter the long coats, scarves, hats and gloves are a delight to snuggle into.

So how are about the fresh-off-the-boat Irish fashion crowd who jumping on the first plane to New York as the work at home dries up doing in the Big Apple?

It’s not too hard to find a struggling make-up artist, model, hairstylist or designer in New York, despite it being the capital of all things creative and fashionable. If you were a big deal on the Dublin scene take yourself down several pegs, be prepared to do the coffee run and work for free to improve your book before you even consider getting any paid or regular work.

Yes, the so called “paddy book” is what London fashionistas call the crème de la crème of Irish portfolios proudly presented by Ireland’s best talent, and this is easily translated to the American agents, retailers and recruiters. Your eight page shoot in the Dublin Mountains for The Gloss may have seemed like your prize offering to book your debut job in this new market but it just won’t cut it in these parts. Also, any commercial work you’ve done doesn’t count for anything in fashion so no diversity please!
