Mint Velvet Spring/summer 18 Launch

Thursday, 18th January, 2018: Fashion lovers gathered for an exclusive breakfast event to launch MINT VELVET’s Spring / Summer 2018 collection, at a beautiful Georgian apartment at 23 Leinster Road in Rathmines, restored by a collaborative design practice, Elements of Action. Combining clean silhouettes, fresh prints and highlights of vivid colour, MINT VELVET S/S18 marries masculine and feminine styling for a colourful collection that champions ageless style.

Guests on the day were treated to a delicious breakfast reception of vegan coconut pancakes with banana and strawberry, chorizo and cherry tomato frittata, Annagassan smoked salmon with cream cheese and chives and homemade cranberry and ginger soda, whilst browsing the incoming S/S18 collection of slogan knits, soft tailored pieces and understated staples.

A perfect setting for the occasion, the IDI award winning venue oozed streamlined style with sky-high ceilings, washed blush walls and the show stopping brass kitchen, created by Elements of Action. Hints of the collection were shown throughout the space, with quirky floral touches of hot pink, vibrant blue and popping yellow.

MINT VELVET PR coordinator, Yasu Pola-Samuels, was in good company on the morning with stylish guests and fans of the brand including designer, Sonya Lennon, bloggers Louise Cooney and Niamh O’Sullivan, stylists, Courtney Smith, Corina Gaffey, Linda Conway and Justine King, model Kelly Horrigan, Xpose presenter, Karen Koster and Saturday and Sunday AM presenter, Anna Daly, and author and stylist, Annmarie O’Connor.
