Karen Millen Pop Up Atelier arrives in Ireland, Exclusively at Brown Thomas!
Wednesday, October 16, 2013
Ever wondered how a design will evolve from a sketch to the finished garment? Well you may not realise it but that favourite jacket or dress will comprise of many different components, expertly fitted and worked together to produce that final garment!
Back in August I was extremely happy to hear that my favourite store was giving customers an unique insight into this process by re-creating their very own atelier in Selfridges, London for just one month!
Leading on from that success Karen Millen have partnered up with Brown Thomas, Dublin, to re-create their very own atelier. Offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of their design and tailoring techniques in a dedicated space on Level 1 of Brown Thomas until the 31st October which I was lucky enough to visit at the start of the month!!!
I've always said the reason why I practically live in Karen Millen clothes is due to the fact that their design, cut and fabric is comparable to any designer brand! As someone who has been lucky enough to try on & wear high end designer brands I can honestly say that Karen Millen's pieces more than hold their own when compared to similar designer garments! The Pop Up Atelier gives customers an unique insight into the design process, allowing them to fully appreciate the level of workmanship involved in creating each garment!
There will be a range of collectible Limited Edition pieces that are solely exclusive to Brown Thomas, such as trend-led tailoring and statement outerwear. These exclusive pieces were created to encompass all the essential trend-led components of a modern wardrobe.

My personal favourite was a gorgeous black skirt suit, with unusual panelling & darts creating a super luxe feel to the ensemble! I know I could wear it to any high level business meeting, or equally dress it up for a night of cocktails!
