Fashion lovers gathered for an exclusive breakfast event to launch MINT VELVET’s A/W18 collection, at The Dean, Dublin 2 on Wednesday.
Guests on the morning were also treated to a surprise glimpse of the brand’s first ever kidswear range; Mintie, which was adorably stylish.
Mint Velvet’s A/W18 collection featured global style influences combined and layered to create unique looks that marry feminine and masculine styling. A nostalgic undertone runs throughout the season, with contrasting prints of leopard, florals and stripes taking centre-stage.
Winter floral displays of red, deep burgundy and bright pink set the scene, while a child-friendly tepee set-up played homage to the brand’s next chapter.
Guests enjoyed a delicious breakfast reception of smoked salmon with cream cheese served in black sesame cones, baby potato, spinach and ricotta frittatas, fresh granola pots and delicious breakfast smoothies, whilst browsing the incoming A/W18 collection of chunky knits, hero footwear and understated staples.
Mint Velvet’s PR Manager, Yasu Pola-Samuels, was in stylish company with guests and fans of the brand including actress Charleigh Bailey, model Holly Carpenter, stylist Corina Gaffey and Xpose producer, Debbie O’Donnell. All guests on the day wore an item from the new MINT VELVET collection, styled individually with their own personal take on the brand’s classic relaxed glamour ethos.
The morning also unveiled a new chapter with Mint Velvet’s first ever kidswear range. After creating clothing for women for nine years, Mint Velvet has now taken on a new, exciting adventure, introducing Mintie.
Launching this autumn, Mintie is a brand-new collection made for ‘mini-me’s. Mirroring MINT VELVET’S classic pieces and relaxed styling, Mintie is an age-appropriate collection for girls aged 3-10 – think cute, stylish and modern.
Pieces are easily coordinated – creating straightforward and effortless dressing. Mintie plays on colours, animal motifs, slogans and girly details for a fun yet contemporary range and is made with comfort, style and practicality in mind with easy to care for and soft to touch fabrics.
