The Pink Catwalk

Today, February 25th, we interviewed some teenagers in St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin.
We asked them about fashion: whether they agreed or not with our statement “fashion is very important nowadays”, we asked them about the shops they liked, the kind of clothes they looked for in a shop and if they preferred today’s fashion or the one’s of the past.

Here are their opinions:

We interviewed three 20-year-old girls from Dublin and we realized that teenagers follow fashion more on social media than in real life, in fact they all take inspiration from instagram and they don’t follow catwalks or the Fashion Week.

We learnt that Zara, H&M, Penney’s, Vintage shops and Second Handed shops are their favorite destination when they’re shopping, so teenagers prefer cheaper shops and don’t actually care about the brand. They all agreed with each other as they all said they liked 80’s and 90’s fashion as much as today’s fashion, because they said that it takes their inspiration from past years.

Then we asked “what kind of clothes catch your attention when you enter in a shop?”, and their answers were different.

Some of the teenagers like colourful clothes. Most of them aren’t dresses or skirts kind of people because Ireland is very cold. Others prefer sporty clothes like pattern trousers, jumpers or sweaters. We also learnt that some of them like unusual clothes, clothes of flares and puffy sleeves. They take inspiration from people on the street and their decision also depends on what are the trends at the moment.

New uniforms for the women’s Gaelic Football at Croke Park, Dublin.

These girls represent Dublin and to do it properly they need to be fashionable, not only strong.
Every year their uniform changes but the color remains the same: blue.

This year the designers who created the uniform, decided to listen to the players’ requests so they came up with this idea which is a simple blue uniform that allows them to be comfortable and look nice at the same time.

Blue isn’t the only color for the uniforms, every team has a different color that represents its county.
For example Galway’s jersey is white and red-brown, Mayo’s is green and red.

Hurling matches for women and men take place in Croke Park stadium which is Ireland’s largest stadium and it’s also the home of Ireland’s largest sporting and cultural organisation, the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA)

Croke park has played host to iconic moments in Irish sport & history and to major cultural and international events.

The situation in Milan has gotten worse. Schools, universities and public places such as gyms, theatres, museums and cinemas will be closed for the whole week.

Everyone is panicking, the supermarkets are empty, there’s no one around the city, people are staying at home. Masks and disinfectants are sold out in every pharmacy or they’re being sold at crazy prices.
