Threads by Paul Galvin

THREADS by Paul Galvin skilfully weaves together a collection of stories of Irishmen who defined the style, culture and mood of their time. PUSH tells the story of the Walker Brothers, cyclists and soldiers who pedalled through a storm for Ireland at the 1912 Stockholm Games, using the same bikes as couriers during the 1916 Rising. BORN MAD shows other sides to Samuel Beckett, the sportsman & secret agent. BOLAND tells us about Harry Boland’s background as a trained tailor. These are some of the men who inspired Paul’s own storytelling. Threads illuminates how history is woven into the clothes we wear and how design can bring this history to life. Paul Galvin - a creative collaboration with Dunnes Stores.
