Hellooo and welcome to the PMUI blog.
This blog was created to be a one stop shop for Fashion/Costume Design, Tutorials, Customising, Fashion /Beauty inspiration and all things Funky!
A bit about me:
I have been drawing and designing for Fashion and Costume since I could hold a pencil and was always fascinated by the female shape as there is so much you can do with it. I always knew it was what I wanted to be so I studies Art and Design, Historical Costume Design, Wig and Make up in College. I went on to work in Film/Theatre/Gigs doing Costume, Wardrobe and Wig and although it was some of the best times in my life I wanted to be more creative. I worked from home making Costumes on request and for production companies from my tiny room when you couldn't swing a cat!
Everything after that has been self thought, qualified Costume Designer but a Fashion Designer at heart. I love doing both! I love customising and challenging myself to learn how to make new things.
I am the designer and creator of Pin Me Up Ireland - For the Modern Day Pin Up Girl and all things funky.. A brand I built when I started with making wire headbands/dollybows for a Modern Pin Up Girl look, clothing and customising. Pin Me Up Irl was created after my mothers friends asked why I was not doing anything with my talents (I had given up on it and just made things for myself at this point but it never felt right and ate away at me). She said "Never sit on a dream, you will wake up one day in your 50s wishing you had followed your dreams". That really inspired me to go home and get working on my business! And that is how Pin Me Up Irl got started! #followyourdreams
