Honor Fitzsimons

The happy printsMulti award winning fashion designer Natalie B Coleman creates enchanting clothing which inhabit a dreamy world of memory and storytelling. Since establishing her label in 2011, her designs have been sold and exhibited internationally, and worn by Angela Scanlon, Lily Cole, Suki Waterhouse, and Marina and The Diamonds. Totally Dublin sat down with Natalie in her design studio based in the heart of Dublin city on a hazy Friday afternoon to find out more.

Did you always want to be a fashion designer?I did always really love clothes since I was small. I actually used to sleep in my wardrobe sometimes because we had a radiator in the wardrobe and the house was freezing! I was always drawing clothes. I just loved more the mood of people when they were dressed up, and everything was nicer. I wanted to do something related to that, something creative, but I didnt know what. I really wanted to go to art college, but I didnt think about fashion, it was more painting and sculpture that inter-ested me. It was when I got older, I sort of fell into it rather than chose it, so you could say it was natural progression.

Was style always important to you? Were there stylish women in your family?Well, everybody says the same thing about their mother but my mother was particularly flamboyant in her dress sense compared to

people around where I lived. She was a bit more adventurous, she wore lots of really crazy prints, animal skins, but she looked really cool, everybody totally fancied her! I was always so mortified, but I think she definitely influenced me. I always liked the idea of women dressing up and going out and being in really good moods, how things could be transformed through a dress. Thats the bit about fashion I love how it changes somebody, how differently they sit, how things have stories. Just even looking at old photo albums you can see different times and moods. Its poetic.

You are well loved for your uplifting designs what are you drawn to for inspi-ration?I love the storytelling aspect, like a diary, [the inspiration] is always whats going on. Theyre clothes, you know? Theyre not meant to be too heavy. I think its nice when you have nice

Would you say that print is your favourite part of making a collection?Its not my favourite part, but its probably where I see myself [as a brand]. Even though sometimes I think Id like to do a collection all in black or whatever, I think that Im kind of more known for the print. As a brand you kind of need to stick to those things and not deviate too much, as it can frighten your cus-tomer. I think my favourite part is the storytelling

idea. You think of something that makes you laugh I try to write down things as I go like little sayings that I come across, or the words of a song, it all feeds into the inspiration. Like last night I was googling The Coquettes at two in the morning... so I dont know whats hap-pening yet with SS16!

Could you tell us a bit about your SS15 col-lection, Be Still My Bleeding Heart? Well it was my Mums anniversary, 21 years last year, when I started designing it for this year. So I was feeling quite sad, as it was just on my mind. She always loved roses and I started drawing them thinking about the ink falling from them, and the lines coming out from behind, and I developed prints and ideas from that. I repeated the rose print, and changed the scale, and colours of it. Its girlie, a little bit 1970s influenced, simple, and quite feminine. It has some pleating which I had done in the last traditional pleaters that exists in the UK and Ireland, theyre really amazing. So its got some lovely details.

What else are you working on?Im currently working on a collaboration with a high-street store, which Im quite excited about! Also, the AW15 collection is currently in Shanghai for Fashion Week there. The col-lection is called Make Believe and its inspired by a book by Enid Blyton called The Magic Faraway Tree. I loved it as a kid, and last year I was thinking a lot about childhood. I worked with Caroline Schofield on some hand-drawn illustrations for our prints. It started out as a project for the exhibition Second Skin, and I loved it so much I wanted to work on it more. There are all these little vortexes drawn on the light chiffon fabric that it ended up look-ing like a slightly hazy lace, like net curtains that you would have looked through as a child. Its very dreamy and romantic. That will be stocked in Kalu boutique in Naas from September. The Second Skin exhibition, with the Design and Crafts Council, is still on in London at the moment. Im also going to be judging Future Makers, which Im really look-ing forward to.

Natalie B Coleman is stocked at Dipili Boutique on Ormond Quay Lower, Dublin 1. You can see more of Natalies work online at www.nataliebcoleman.com

almost write out a collection in a way. I really need to be in the studio in order to work. For a while there, when my label was getting big-ger, we were making the all the samples out at a factory, but its really nice to bring that process back in-house because most of the design actually takes place when were chang-ing patterns, or sometimes something unex-pected happens but then you find it really works well.Also print is important, even though I didnt

mean to start out designing print. I didnt do it in college but I did always have print on the inside of linings. I like those little surprises. So I start with a story of something and hope that it all comes together.

thoughts while youre making something, nice that its not mass produced, and theres an energy. You hope that the idea or the mood that youre trying to create, that whimsy or whatever it is, transports from the hanger onto somebody.

Day one of a new collection. What do you start with? Emm I procrastinate! Thats my main thing! The last two weeks Ive been so distracted, Ive had so much to do and Ive been going to more openings and starting to read new books, like I went to Julie Feeney last night, going to movies Im useless! [Laughs] I do always begin with a story, and I kind of

jewellery for different beasts.

A natural storyteller, he

works intuitively to imbue the

metal with day-to-day life, and creates layers of textures resulting in tactile jewellery which is as dark,

industrial and raw as it is playful

and fun.

Honor Fitzsimons

How did you come to jewellery design?Well its a long story! As a teenager, I was just into music, it was all I cared about. I was in a band called Vocal Disorder, I wrote songs and played guitar, we played around Dublin and eventually we moved to San Francisco. I ended up being there twelve years, and one day I happened across a gold prospecting shop. They sold gold metal detectors, stuff for gold mining and jewellery making tools. So I bought a load of tools, some silver, and a book on the Navaho Indians jewellery and how to make it, and started experimenting. I always loved rings, I dont know why exactly, a bit like holding on to your grandmothers ring or such. I went on for years welding precious metals, and other different stuff. At the same time I was a draughtsman, I drew blueprints for engineers and architects, so thats what

Heavy metal

free. It was all about getting you to go with your gut, to experiment, to play, to make things first, and then later maybe write some words about it or see what people think. It may not always work, but at least youve made something from your gut.

Would you talk us through your processes? I was always interested in making a mark. With engraving I was doing that, and with drills and files too, its just now that Im getting my drawings and ideas onto the pieces. As far as a process I know everybody says that they start with a drawing, and then develop that, but for me its not so much like that. I get a lot of ideas while Im walking around cities or wherever I am, and I just add up overheard bits of conversations or gossip, slags, whatever, and in particular Dublin slang, and all this stuff

comes in like a stew. It all just cooks up, and then when I get down to working, Ill take my sheets of metal or silver and gold, and I would bash them up with bits of all this information, with engravings and textures. The jewellery isnt really thought about at that stage, its just playing and happy accidents, and seeing what these layers of mark making look like. When I do chop up the sheets, I see which can become rings or pendants or whatever. Then upon that I add more layers of marks, and burn, bruise or melt the metal.

How do you know when the piece is ready?You just know youve had enough of it! Also, you dont want to beat the metal too much, because thats going to give it a shiny look, and I like the raw [look]. Its like when you get a new pair of shoes and theyre all shiny, but then as theyre about to die theyre more comfortable, so why cant you start with it being beaten up first, as people wear it? It will get shinier and take up the marks of their life. People arent as precious with my work because theyre already all scratched, it doesnt scare people as much. I also re-melt peoples older jewellery and work with them to make or hack new, more interesting pieces.

What are you up to next?I have an exhibition of my drawings at the moment in the Side by Side exhibition in Kilkenny, under my other name Otto Vanwinklepeterstein, which is then going to Paris, and will then be in Dublin Castle in November. Im going to Iceland in August for an artists residency, to walk, talk, draw, experiment, and gather more stories to create some new work. Here in May in the Irish Design Shop, we are having a jewellers launch, where people are welcome to drop by.

Pierce Healy is stocked at the Irish Design Shop on Drury Street, Dublin 2, above which is his studio, where he is available for com-missions (or just a chat).

funded all this. Because I had a day job, I was able to experiment and not worry too much about the value of materials. I kept playing and playing and eventually I started mak-ing work that people liked and which I took to small galleries in San Francisco. I did a jewellery course there, and a couple shows. My engraving came in when I happened to meet an Armenian engraver, who was the only engraver in San Francisco. He was a great sto-ryteller and so was I, so we got on really well! He agreed to teach me to hand-engrave, which has sort of brought me to the work I do now.When I came back to Dublin from San

Francisco I went to NCAD and studied met-als and design, and from there I went on to Stockholm to study at Konstfack. The depart-ment I was in was called dellab, which means alchemy and magic, so it was very

Inside, the walls creak with the weight history and a thousand forgotten con-versations long lost to the passage of time. But aside from that, it has a reputation for two things - great Guinness and great barmen. No music, no television, none of yer fancy stuff, only the essentials are present in this landmark establishment.

this showcase of three cultural champions

who are truly mixing things up.

a positive experience: The aim is to make the other person look good the philosophy of improv is that theres no wrong way to do it. Ive never had a disaster with Neil+1 once the audi-ence member moves out of survival mode, you can see a complete change come over them, and thats when they get creative.

Its not just on the stage that Curran is preach-ing the power of performance. Realising there are only so many mindfulness gurus you can lock employees into a conference room with, employers and institutions are booking improv crash courses for their staff. Neil visits the Googles, O2s and Facebooks of the country for workshops that are becoming an increasingly popular way of learning how to be comfortable making a bit of a tit of yourself in front of your peers and realising just how elastic your brain and body can be. In improv, he says, its not what you teach; its how you teach it.

His craft faces an uphill struggle: from setting its stall apart from stand-up to a lack of funding recognition of it as a standalone art. Rather than a charm offensive though, Curran explains that the beauty of improv is its virality. Theres not much that compares to the hit, the thrill of getting your first laugh or round of applause. But its the kind of thing that you cant relate through words, so you go off and convince your friends to try it too. You know, like cults. If improv is a cult, then Curran makes for a charismatic leader. We ask him to let us in on the secret mantra for any new initiates: do it, do it, do it.

Neil CurranPerformance/Comedy/

Festivals

its not what you teach; its how you teach it

Comparing improv and stand-up comedy is a little like comparing rugby and football thats how Neil Curran, Irelands foremost champion of the vibrant improv underground, describes his chosen art. If youve never been to an improv show in Ireland, you might be surprised to find the extent of a scene thats spreading rapidly beyond the basement club stage.When Curran was first initiated into the cult of improv, Corks Snatch club was the only dedi-cated outpost. He was plying his trade as part of a theatre group, but found the world of theatre elitist and rigid improvs collaborative spirit, grassroots enthusiasm and lawlessness was poles apart. Now, with Curran at the helm, we are hosts to one of the worlds fastest growing Improv Festivals, attracting artists from across the world.

A few years ago I was teaching a class in Shanghai, he tells us. I was working with friend who had moved over and learned Chi-nese through teaching improv. Naively, I pre-sumed there was no real scene in Asia then I found out theres festivals in Hong Kong, Seoul, Manila. Naturally, I thought: why dont we have one in Dublin?

The success of the festival has been built on the bedrock of years of hard work by Curran and the rest of the community. He leads from the front with his own show, Neil+1. The concept could strike the fear of god into any improv newbie: at each show he plucks an audience member, preferably one whos never been to a show before (let alone performed) and invites them on stage to riff with him.

For anybody whos been on the receiving end of abuse by stand-ups, this may sound like hell. Curran is at pains to make the whole process

Did your parents tell you to never play with your food? We suspect that Jette Virdis didnt. As we chat to this Southampton-born art director and food stylist, shes putting the finishing touches on some onigiri sushi and coconut macaroons. Her creations look more like tiny works of archi-tecture than the delectable nibbles they are.

It makes sense that Virdis banquets are as much a feast for the eyes as the palette. I come from a design background, she explains, so Im much more visual than I am with weighing, measuring, working to precise recipes.

By not caring too much about convention, Jette has a made a profound impact on her adopted city in the year or so since arriving from Mexico (where she renovated and ran a once-abandoned hotel). All of her projects come from an urge to create new, open social possibilities and build a community of (adventurous people) dying for new experiences.

One of those projects is Long Table Suppers, which connects people over one of those univer-sal human needs: stuffing our faces with unbe-lievably delicious food. Supper clubs are sort of the AirBnB of dining, Virdi says. Combining her formidable culinary skills with a panache for dressing up out-of-the-ordinary venues, these evenings are a loud, lively alternative to the formalities of restaurant dining.

Long Table is not just a showcase of gourmet pyrotechnics, however. I dont want people to pay money for the supper clubs to fill my pockets, she says. The proceeds of each meal go towards fine causes, like Mens Sheds and Marriage Equality. After the success of Dublin editions of the club, it is preparing to go on tour. Next up: Dingle, Amsterdam and London

After the dishes are done and the banquet tables folded up, Virdi finds time to work on The Creatives, an open-ended organisation based around people from a plethora of different backgrounds pooling their expertise (and upper-body strength) to build new projects in their communities. Theres no such thing as a as a typical member: One of the guys I call him the man-help hes a cancer researcher. Hes in the labcoat all day, and then comes around with his tools and his ladders after work and asks what can I do right now?. Being involved has opened him up to learning photography from another one of the crew.

As with her own work, The Creatives is all about tracing those invisible connections, and having the trust in your instincts to knot them together. What Ill always tell people who want to be involved is: take a chance, take a gamble.Doing it your own way I ask her does it always pay off? She doesnt bat an eyelid: Yes!

Iconic music videos become synonymous with the songs that soundtrack them - can you hear the Beastie Boys Intergalactic without a 20 foot robot smashing around your minds eye, or hum Sledge-hammer without wanting to binge on Wallace and Gromit? In 2014 Hoziers world-beating Take Me To Church joined that canon, thanks to the provocative, graceful video from Feel Good Lost, a Cork-based collective headed up by Brendan Canty.

Before the entire world and its mum posted Take Me To Church to its Facebook walls, Feel Good Lost had been building up a reputation for gorgeous, abstract music videos thanks to their emotive visual accompaniments to tracks by Jape, MMOTHS and AlunaGeorge. Aside from these works of visual poetry, Feel Good Lost functions as a music label, a platform for art and a live pro-jection collective. All of these faces make Cantys company a powerful force for breaking new Irish music and video on an international stage.

When we talk, Brendan is in a buoyant mood - hes just finished work on a narrative video for Gavin James, a video he says is Feel Good Losts best yet. Its been something of a pet project. The second I heard the track I knew it was the song Id been waiting for to make a video for, he tells us. Its cinematic, its emotive It ticked all the boxes I look for.

Canty stays true these criteria when it comes to taking on a new project: just before we speak, hes turned down an Olly Murs video. Its not that we only we work with alternative artists. I think some of the best directors have worked on pop songs, he says, citing Martin Thurah, a progres-sive videographer whos worked with Will Young.

It wasnt even the worst Olly Murs song or any-thing but I need something with lyrical subtlety, so we can read between the lines a little bit.

Turning down a pop star of the Murs magni-tude as a company that began, just a few years ago, as a bedroom project, is an astounding posi-tion to be in. What attracted Brendan to music videos was the fact that there are no limitations when it comes to the format. Even though budgets were falling (when I started out), it was becoming much cheaper to make videos and to just put something up on YouTube and get some real attention.

Rather than post videos as a lone wolf director, he decided to create Feel Good Lost like a band comes up with a name to define the work. The project has mutated over time, building close relationships with acts like Young Wonder, a band as remarkable for their visual sheen as the their polished electro-pop.

Cantys visual aesthetic is instantly recognis-able: elegant, earthy and awash with emotional allure. It draws much of its power from the Irish landscape. Our secret weapon was staying in Cork, the director chuckles. Everybody says you have to move to London to make it work. I cant imagine not being a 20 minute drive from the beach, or the countryside even in our towns, were rich with all these potential settings.

After the global success of Hozier, Canty says that everybody is looking to Ireland. Feel Good Lost is an able ambassador: Canty is distilling the beauty of the songs of our most talented musicians and the grace of our extraordinary landscapes into a refined, heartfelt document of the contemporary moment.

hile known as a bustling shopping hub, Dundrum Town Centre isnt renowned for its vibrant bar scene, with most visitors making a

quick exit after theyve exhausted their budgets in the Gallery. For those in search of drink options beyond the standard offerings of Dundrums multiple restaurants, the Candlelight Bar offers a wide range of cocktails, wines and beers to meet the need of thirsty shoppers and those beginning their evenings festivities alike.Located above the ever popular Siam Thai, the

Candlelight Bars dimly lit interior seems to lend itself to close knit conversations. The sounds and scents of the downstairs restaurant drift up to the bar, enhanc-ing the atmosphere at quieter periods. For balmier evenings, the balcony provides a comfortable setting,

although there are undoubtedly more scenic Dublin landscapes to soak in while imbibing cocktails.We arrived at half six on a Wednesday evening,

perhaps not the optimum time to appreciate the full experience of the Candlelight Bar, although the lull in patrons meant we had the full attention of the knowl-edgeable and attentive waitstaff. The bar didnt fill up as we lingered over our drinks, providing a quiet and relaxing environment to have an unhurried catch-up. The content of the cocktail menu bears an Eastern

influence, which prioritises style over being easily navi-gable for the discerning customer. Nevertheless, the 27 choices served up a multitude of tempting offers. We sampled both a gin cocktail with grapefruit juice and rose syrup, and a spicy and sweet vodka based concoc-

tion with gingerbread syrup and chilli bitters. The vari-ety of non-alcoholic choices was a welcome surprise for our resident non-drinker with a refreshing selection of citrus based drinks. All three drinks were impressively presented, and left us eager to explore other options. Food comes courtesy of Siam Thai, with the starter

choices delivered as finger food ideal for sharing. With prices averaging at around 8 for a plate, and not entirely generous serving sizes, the Candlelight Bar isnt best suited to the hungry patron. The bill came to just over 40 for two cocktails, one virgin lemonade and two starter dishes. Ultimately, its the cocktails that are the stand-out feature of the bar, making it a welcome presence in Dundrums bar and restaurant scene.

How long have you been at the Marker?Weve been open for two years in April. I started in the January about three months before doors opened, so myself and the then Food and Beverage Director had to put the place together. It was a huge challenge, especially because I wanted to bring some new concepts to Dublin. There was a definite shift in trends, thats why its so important as a chef to keep changing and developing. Thats why at the bar were about to launch a new healthy menu in conjunc-tion with the existing one.I think were going to call it the Nutrimenu, and on there well have things like a Nutribox, which is some clear soup, a salad, 100 grams of protein and and a raw juice. Its a lighter lunch thats proven successful and prompted this whole idea. I also do some paleo balls for people to have after training. At the moment Im trying to develop a healthy burger.On the bar menu at the minute, we have a burger thats probably one of our best

GARETH MULLINS FROM THE BRASSERIE AT THE MARKER HOTELsellers. Its on a brioche bun with some bacon and cheddar with rosemary fries. Im trying to do something with the same beef patty but with a bit of avocado and cress, maybe some pickled red cabbage and a gluten free bun, with oven baked sweet potato fries on the side.

Is there responsibility as a chef to take on board these chang-es in attitudes towards healthy eating?You always have to listen to your guests. The Nutribox was origi-nally designed for the January blues. We were asked to come up with something for the other side of Christmas and youve had a bit too much of everything. It was originally meant to be on the bar menu for four weeks and now its been there for 18 months! Its just a reflection of what people want to eat. Ive always had a consum and a steamed fish option on the la carte menu, for example, for those who want to eat light. Saying that, you can come and get a nice steak and barnaise if you want to. Also, the Marker Hotel is all about offering experience to people. The Brasserie is a destination restaurant. You can come down here on a Saturday night, start your evening off with a drink in the bar, then stroll over to the restaurant and get something of the la carte, or if youre going to a show try our pre-theatre menu, then finish the evening off on the Rooftop and drink cocktails til your hearts content. Were very lucky here in that weve got five different food outlets the brasserie, the bar, the rooftop, in-room dining and then food for conference and events. The more

people come in the more they realize we arent what people expect from a 5 star hotel. Were very approachable here.

Thats refreshing to hear!Well it can be a challenge. Often, people think of a 5 star hotel and maybe they assume theyll have to wear a shirt and tie, which is ludicrous if you think about it. If you look at the price points in the restaurant, theyre the same as what youd pay around town. The misconceptions about 5 star hotels being unapproachable drives me crazy. When you go to London or Paris or Sydney, they just dont see them the same way. We do Le Drunch here on a Sunday which is a hybrid between lunch and dinner with a DJ here on a Sunday playing some nice relaxed tunes as well, no strobes or anything [Laughs]

Tell me about the Rooftop.Were just about to reopen the rooftop for summer and well be serving food up there from May. The concept I designed for up there was a taste plate concept. So the idea is that people sitting around drinking cocktails might not want a full dinner or a big heavy meal. So its smaller type grazing dishes. You might have a couple of tasting plates, maybe a few drinks, a couple more taste plates, a bit of cheese.
