Every month we will be shining the spotlight on one of our stores, the employees who work there, and best of all we'll be able to get their opinion on what they love about their store and the city it's in. They can show us their favourite places to go for lunch, dinner, a quick drink, or somewhere they just like to be. So next time you're in their next of the woods you'll know where go!
Against the backdrop of their city, and with the help of a few props and a camera, we'll let the folk from our Dublin store tell you about themselves. Take it away Dublin...
Dublin: "For our photo shoot we decided to pick 7 people who work with us that have their very own style. We got them to pick clothes from Urban that represent their own personal style, and then took them to their favorite place in Dublin City where we took their photo! Through our photo shoot we wanted to let other stores learn a bit about Dublin and the people in our store. We believe the clothes and other items we sell suit and fit into many different style brackets and we just wanted to show that."
Amy picked Andrews Lane as her favourite place. The reason she loves this location is because it is home to the famous Andrews Lane theatre. Amy has a huge interest in theatre! There is also a new club around there which she likes to go to as it is a fun up and coming hotspot! She thinks the general area has a great feel and she loves walking around it. Amy describes her personal style as unique and vibrant.
Ian picked his best friend’s shop as his favourite place. The shop is located in the heart of Temple Bar. Temple Bar is the Centre of Dublin's night life. It has many bars and restaurants while hosting lots of quirky little shops. The shop is one of the first rockabilly shops in Dublin. Ian describes his style as a mix of Elvis, Grease and just general rockabilly. He just likes to have fun with his clothes!
Sarah picked the famous Rick's Burgers as her favourite Dublin spot. Rick's is located on Dublin's busy Dame street, and fills up as the night goes on with hungry punters demanding a late night snack after a hard night on the tiles!! Sarah describes her style as chic with a bit of trash thrown in.
Anthony has chosen the world famous Trinity College Dublin as his favourite place. Trinity is one of Ireland's best colleges. Its building and grounds are beautiful. It is located in the heart of Dublin and it is the centre of the student community! It also holds the famous Book of Kells. Anthony has just finished his second degree, so we thought this was a good place as he has practically lived in college for the past few
months!!!! He describes his style as geek, fun and retro.
Sinead’s favourite place is Eamon Dorans, which is one of Dublin's famous pubs. Eamon Dorans is located in the heart of Temple Bar. It is host to many gigs throughout the year. She especially loves the way the toilets look. She describes her style as 40s.
Anne and Rob’s Favourite place is Urban Outfitters!!! They love our store and the people in it. They think it’s the most fun place to be in Dublin! Our store is located in Temple Bar, it is really lively and busy. We have a really tight team and all great friends!!! Anne and Rob describe their style as geeek/nerd, fun and comfortable…..
