Exciting New Labels take centre stage at Clerys this Summer April 2009

With a host of attention-grabbing, uplifting colour and classic style, Clerys, O’Connell Street women’s collection for Summer 2009 offers a wide choice and great value to suit all summer occasions from garden parties here in Ireland to beach parties on hot sunnier shores.

Clerys range of styles for summer 2009 are varied from pretty casual, feminine couture and boho looks to sophisticated marina styles and vibrant colours married together offering a sixties feel.  The store is packed with bright, energetic colours like burnt peach, cerise pinks, hot reds and zesty oranges as well as natural greens and beach blues and soft hints of sheer tones. 

There are over 40 different concessions in Clerys including brands such as Karen Millen, Sisley, Benetton, Oasis, Topshop and Miss Selfridge; the Inspire collection of fashionable casual pieces and evening wear from favourites like Rene Derhy, Deby Debo, Darling and Rant ‘n’ Rave as well as the classic European collections. 

New and exclusive to Clerys since March 2009 and bringing with it a riot of colour is European label Rant ‘n’ Rave.  Famous for its bold colours and funky design the Rant ‘n’ Rave collection in Clerys also offers more elegant colour options like nude and neutral among its range of zip-up tops, t-shirts, cotton strappy and short sleeved tops.  As well as wardrobe staples, the summer collection includes stand alone pieces which are useful to couple with old wardrobe items bringing new looks to life.

The botanically inspired collection from Parisian Rene Derhy combines a colourful mix of florals, prints and eye-catching design.  Patchwork floral prints in flamboyant colours, maxi dresses with a mixture of arty and ethnic influences personify the summer collection. 

Demonstrating layering at its best, the natural fabric tunics and dresses from Deby Debo are awash with embroidery, prints, new shapes and embellishments. Without being provocative the range offers sexy style for shoppers searching for a modern eclectic look.

The quintessentially flirty feminine range from Darling offers a wide choice of prints, tunics, chiffon floral patterns, with beautiful detailing of lace, ruffles and embroidery.  Famous for its opulent stand out pieces, the Darling collection is perfect for the shopper seeking individual style with a vintage twist.

Complementing the summer styles are accessories such as long gold chains, wooden and gold bangles and silver beaded necklaces from Angelique as well as crochet gloves from Dents, large coloured bags with tassel or fringe detail and chain or studded belts.
