Our Story....

The Irish Style Institute offers the only elevated educational experience in image, style and fashion in Ireland. We believe that a passion for fashion and style can be elevated to your future job…your dream career does start with us.

About Us

The Irish Style Institute was founded in 2023 by style entrepreneur Laura Jordan, who has worked for 10 years as a commercial stylist and fashion presenter in Ireland and is owner of style and image consultancy StyleSavvy, with over 400 private clients and 50 corporate clients nationwide.

Laura has a H.Dip in Education, working for 7 years as a primary school teacher before launching StyleSavvy. She also has a diploma in Digital Marketing, specialising in eCommerce and has linked this with study and research in the area of Trend Forecasting.

OUR COURSES

Laura lectured in fashion at the Dublin Institute of Design for 8 years, developing multiple courses for the college, before launching the Irish Style Institute, a combination of her 3 passions; education, empowerment and style.

Laura has previously created programmes in Image Consultancy, Personal Shopping, Fashion Styling and The Business of Fashion and has developed the only Fashion Trend Forecasting course in Ireland, with particular focus on eCommerce Trends. Laura developed these from a lack of other options for further study and learning in the Irish fashion space.

Leah is a personal stylist and image consultant, bringing extensive experience with over 150 personal clients, magazine shoots and events.
