Inspired By: Volvo Ocean Race

The around the world Volvo Ocean Race finished in Galway this week and the city is alive with festivities all week long including the International Design Collective Fashion Show, which we’re looking forward to attending this Friday.

Naturally, the “what to wear” question is in our minds so, to get us inspired for this weekend’s party atmosphere dockside, here’s a nautical themed fashion shoot, which was photographed in Galway and where every piece of clothing featured can be shopped in Galway itself!

For more tips on where to shop, eat, drink and stay in Galway, check out our Style City Galway feature, (guest edited by fashion designer Joanne Hynes) and in the meantime, here’s how to get the nautical look, Volvo Ocean Race style.
