Fashion: it’s what defines us, even when that definition is “home watching Netflix in my sweatpants.” In Dublin at his year’s World of Coffee Expo—Europe’s largest annual coffee trade show—it may have well been a gilded catwalk of daring styles, fashionable conversation pieces, and looks that made us ask: can they really tamp in that?
The beautiful, the exquisite, the provocatively fashion-forward: Sprudge contributor Elizabeth Chai caught it all through a fluttering lens, like a caffeinated Helmut Newton prowling the shimmering glamour of Saint-Tropez in August (except, you know, a bunch of coffee people in a convention center in Ireland).
But don’t let reality distract you from the allure, darling. We love these photos and we think you’ll love them too!
