Front Square Fashion’s Dearbháil Kent blends “athleisure and luxury”. Deputy Fashion Editor Christopher Cash speaks to Dearbháil Kent about her style choices.

The intertwining of athleisure and sophistication has been brought to the forefront of today’s fashion, challenging style to remould itself around contemporary youth culture. A revival of sportswear, last seen in the early 2000’s appreciation of brands such as Juicy Couture, has reinvigorated brands such as Balenciaga and Vetements, while also inspiring collaborations such as ‘Fenty X Puma’.

Junior Freshman Dearbháil Kent perfectly captures the essence of this style, by perfectly incorporating elements of different facets of fashion into her own individuality. Describing her style as minimalist, focusing on coherence and silhouette, Dearbháil opts for simple items that provide chic luxury. Colour blocking is one of her key style attributes, focusing on red, pinks and oranges this spring. Ascribing to this blend of athleisure and luxury, Dearbháil pairs chic pinstripe trousers with a pair of ‘Comme De Garçon PLAY x Converse Chuck Taylor’ Hidden Heart Converse. An oversized teddy bear coat is an essential to every wardrobe, yet Dearbháil adds  new vitality by choice of colour, complimenting her converse. Coats like these can easily be found in your local charity or thrift shop, as she believes that “sustainable fashion is a new way of thinking.” Retro sunglasses and hoop earrings are among her chosen accessories.
