Image Magazine April, 2013.   My Picks;

I recently did an interview with RTE Fashion, Read in Full: http://www.rte.ie/lifestyle/fashion/best-of-irish/2013/0331/379191-interview-with-jewellery-designer-ali-nash/

Using semi precious stones that have been collected by myself for years, I created a collection by which anything goes. Wild Nothing pretty much embarks on exactly what it sounds like, the freedom of contradiction. I tried to make sure that each delicate but rough piece encourages personality, styling, layering and building by its beholder.

A large amount of my collection is now available in my online shop here to have a look

Irish designed and made craft will be promoted during the initiative through dedicated window displays and ‘Meet the Designer’ events this March & April, installations and live demonstrations with the designers in Arnotts’ iconic Henry Street windows.  Really excited to part of this celebration of Irish talent.

“The Design Corner” returns to the Costal Town of Dun Laoghaire once again this spring.  The talented 17 local Designers will be showcasing their new Spring Collections, so drop by and meet the designers in person.  I am delighted to be apart of it once again. Be sure to be amazed, inspired and proud of local talent. See Facebook /thedesigncorner  or Twitter @DLDesignCorner for updates.  Park House (opposite People’s Park), Upper  Georges Street, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Ireland T: 0872676650

We have lots of new fab designs coming very soon online  in the new “Wild Nothing” Spring/Summer 2013 Collection.  Very exciting.

I recently visited Barcelona which has really inspired my up and coming collection…Here are some of my photos and colours…

Wishing you all a Happy new year. We hope 2013 brings you everything that you hope for, above all health, happiness and lots of love.  We are looking forward to lots of fresh creativity in 2013 and I for sure feel recharged and rebalanced after a lovely relaxing trip west to Dingle, Co Kerry.   Looking forward to lots of exciting projects in the year ahead and thanking you all for your continued support and wonderful feedback.  You make all the hard work worthwhile:)
