Smart Casual

This week, our hosts are reminiscing on a simpler time when Instagram wasn't the main source of style inspiration — the TV screen was. From Cagney & Lacey to the Olsen twins, we're looking at how our onscreen style crushes shaped our fashion mindsets today. Our guest this week is Irish designer Don O'Neill, who, through his formalwear label Theia, has dressed everyone from Oprah to Meghan Markle to the Kardashians. He speaks to Edaein over the phone from his New York studio about his journey to success, his design inspirations and staying close to Ballyheigue.

This week on a special episode of Smart Casual, our hosts take to the stage in front of a live audience to chat about ageless style - how our style identities and confidence with clothing changes as we get older, and the pieces and trends that hold their own throughout a lifetime. Our guests this week are mature model Mary Dunne and style influencer Sandra Wilson.

This week on Smart Casual, our hosts are focusing on their love of Irish design, and the importance of celebrating home-grown talent. Very fittingly, our guest this week is Head of Design for Body and Environment at the National College of Art and Design Angela O'Kelly.

Episode 18 is all about our precious memories — and, of course, how we dressed during all of them. Our hosts reminisce on their best fashion memories, from weddings to debs to the little moments where they felt their absolute best. Our guest this week is stylist and creative consultant Aisling Farinella, who chats to Sarah about her career to date, how she moved from cinema to fashion, and how she dresses for major moments.

It's one of the biggest weeks in the fashion calendar — this week's episode is all about the Met Gala. From our favourite looks over the years to how the night has become the most extravagant event of the fashion year, our hosts have a lot to discuss. Our guest this week is singer-songwriter Loah, who chats about influences on her personal style, how she dresses to make an impact on stage, and her dream designers for a Met Gala outfit

Has fashion helped you find your tribe in life? Fashion has the power to instil a sense of community in people, whether it's following Fashion Week shows with friends, or even in the way we dress. This week, our hosts discuss how fashion has helped them find common ground and forge friendships throughout their lives. Our special guest this week is jewellery designer and founder and owner of Loulerie, Louise Stokes.

In our very first episode with guest host Sarah Rickard, our hosts discuss the women who have inspired and influenced their personal style — from childhood right up to their 2019 wardrobes. Our guest this week is influencer and presenter Ciara O'Doherty, who chats to Edaein about her decade-long career on the Irish blogging scene, how she sees the digital fashion bubble developing and her own personal style.

Expect to hear a lot more from our special guest this week — stylist Sarah Rickard is taking the reigns as guest host of Smart Casual while Dominique heads away to become a mum. Our topic this week, very fittingly, is motherhood, and how our hosts' mammies have shaped their style identities.

With the new season comes a new spring in our step, and our attention is turning towards our SS19 wardrobes. We're wondering how to add colour and light to our clothes, while remaining as economical as possible. Is a capsule edit the answer? Our guest this week is Ferdia Gallagher, a young male model from Donegal who took Paris fashion week by storm this season, making his debut on the Celine runway.

As Fashion Month draws to a close, our hosts are discussing the new politics of Fashion Week coverage — has Instagrammable moments and social media-friendly pieces taken over from traditional reportage? Are people as interested in what fashion experts think of full collections as they are in street style inspo? Our guest this month is fashion designer and Irish style stalwart Helen Cody, who chats to Marie about her career to date, why she chose to settle in Ireland after stints in Paris and New York, and her journey with cancer, and how fashion and design made her feel throughout.
