Designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Giorgio di ‘Sant Angelo, Ralph Rucci, and Germain Monteil with be featured. Visitors will have a chance to draw their own conclusions about Egyptian style. This is the sixth consecutive fashion exhibition at Fashion on Main. Future plans include expansion of the gallery at the UCD.
