1
Now Dublin Independent Fashion Week kicked off today.
2
Now in its fourth year, the designer-led event showcases local Irish brands
3
and comes ahead of a decision by a dairy-born designer to launch Dior's Autumn Winter Collection in the Irish capital in December.
4
Dublin's GPO has seen many things in its time, but a fashion show is a first for this historic site.
5
The opening event of Dublin Independent Fashion Week takes over the post office floor to showcase the work of 60 Irish designers.
6
I feel like here in Ireland, we don't really have a fashion industry.
7
A lot of talent tends to move abroad to pursue a career in fashion.
8
So we have amazing talent like Simone Rocha and JW Anderson making huge waves abroad.
9
But we wanted to create something here to provide a platform for designers to thrive in Ireland.
10
So DIFW has brought me so many amazing opportunities.
11
I got to showcase that Copenhagen Fashion Week because of this collective
12
and I also got to produce knitwear for Netflix's Wednesday as well.
13
The fourth year of this event comes ahead of a national fashion week next month
14
and the launch of Fashion House Dior's autumn winter collection in Trinity College by its dairy-born creative director Jonathan Anderson.
15
Irish fashion is definitely having a moment right now.
16
It's a really great place and time where Irish materials like wool and linen, those are being known, those are being protected.
17
And then the names themselves like Jonathan Anderson or Simone Rasha or Robin Lynch, all of these designers are becoming household names.
18
And not for copying something else or not for being big in Paris or New York, but for being big here in Dublin.
19
More than 40 events are taking place as part of Dublin Independent Fashion Week between now and September 17th.
20
Many are already sold out, showing the level of interest in Irish fashion right now.

Over deze les

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
