Project Fashion is run by Paul Alexander and his highly trained fashion team. This team is made up of Irish Fashion Designers, Milliners and Stylists in the industry. Project Fashion also has an online shop where you can purchase fabrics, equipment and accessories. Paul and Paula started Project Fashion in March 2014 and have grown the business to 33 locations across the country.
Paul was awarded his BA in Fashion Design at Bristol University. After moving to Ireland, Paul set up his own brand, Paul Alexander, stocking in many high end retailers in both Ireland and UK, including House of Fraser.
Paul wanted to pass on his wealth of knowledge and experience to the younger generation of Ireland to nurture future talent, there was nothing like this available to him when he was growing up.
