Hurrah! It's Fringe time! It's great to see Dublin getting ready for the usual fun and frolics that come with Dublin Fringe.

Such as this : The Lost Fashion History of South William Street. A trail around the fashionable street that is South William Street. This is literally the blurb off the website so read on and enjoy. It's free apart from the €25 tailoring workshop. For more info try fringefest.comThe Lost Fashion History of South William Street
Did you know that South William Street has had a thriving fashion community for over a century? It was Dublin’s garment district where furriers and dress-makers, glove-makers and couture coat manufacturers plied their trade. Fashion history is more than a history of hemlines; it’s about people, ideas, the way we have lived and what is happening now.
