We both decided to get dressed up and so I wore high heels and a nice blouse, instead of my writer’s uniform of a baggy jumper and tracksuit bottoms. I walked into the restaurant with my head held high and a spring in my step. Over the last few years, I’ve rebelled against the societal pressure for women to look a certain way. I have dismissed fashion as superficial and ditched daily make-up and high heels. But my lunch made me see that fashion in itself is neither bad nor good. If we dress up in order to celebrate life and express ourselves, that is a joy. If we agonise over our wardrobe because we feel like that is all that matters about us, well, that is a shame. What matters, as with most things in life, is our intention. ⬤ Marianne Power is the author of helpmeblog.net Editor: Rachel Dugan ● Executive Editor (Lifestyle): Bairbre Power ● Art Director: Stella Forte ● Photo Editor: Sophie Donaldson Advertising: Noelle Crowley 01-705 5406 / Olga Chambers 01-705 5404 Cover photograph by Mark Condren 91 SepNovetember 20182019 Weekend Magazine IRISH INDEPENDENT 3 WeekendHotlist What we want to see, do and buy this weekend [email protected] Art couture A collaboration between fashion designer Roland Mouret (below) and Irish- based visual artist Dragana A good yarn Jurišić, RHA X opens at the RHA Gallery, Dublin, with the launch party taking place this Friday, and a A great scarf is the easy way to Q&A with both artists the breathe new life into tired winter following day.
