Maire Forkin - Fashion Designer

"Maire designed my Wedding dress and headpiece for my special day. It was exactly as I had hoped for and fitted me perfectly, and I felt absolutely wonderful wearing it"

"I arrived in Maire's studio with pictures from a magazine and a clear visualisation of the style of wedding dress I desired. Instantly, Maire understood my vision and from that first meeting, and throughout the entire process, I always felt that she deeply respected my design and never tried to influence me in another direction.

Each meeting was a relaxed and open discussion where every detail was perfected and all options and processes were explained clearly to me. Although I chose the design, it was very much collaboration from the beginning, and I could never have achieved such elegance and such a stunning finish without the insight, foresight and attention to detail of Maire Forkin. My dress was more popular than the bride or groom at the wedding!"

"During the process my mother often accompanied me when I met with Maire. She was so impressed and so enamoured by Maire’s patience, skill and grace when she was designing my wedding dress, that she too employed Maire to help her design her Mother of the Bride outfit. Maire treated my mother to exactly the same meticulousness and she had done for me, resulting in a stunning suit made from a very unique fabric that reflected my mother’s taste and personality perfectly."

"Maire Forkin has designed a collection of most beautifully elegant coats and glamorous dresses, suitable for a variety of occasions. This much sought after unique range of chic styles is available in a limited collection only which she provided from her studio in No 5 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2."

"I was looking for a very stylish but also age appropriate outfit. I was surprised that after my first appointment, Maire could create an outfit to my exact requirements in both style and fit in luxury fabrics. Maire designs for your personal body shape. She listens to what her client wants, and the finished outfit is a result of combining ideas with her expertise. I am extremely pleased with the finished outfit. I have recommended Maire to several friends who saw my outfits at my daughter’s wedding. I will be contacting Maire again without hesitation."
