Familiar faces from Donegal’s fashion, sport and showbiz scene were out last night to celebrate Nathan Carter’s brand-new venture Carter Clothing.

Ballybofey Boxer Jason Quigley, Lisa McHugh, Dancing with the Stars dancer Karen Byrne, Nathan’s brother Jake Carter and many more friends and family attended the red-carpet event at Lough Erne Resort, Co Fermanagh.

Merino wool jumpers made in Donegal are among the showstopping pieces in the collection designed by Nathan Carter that covers all occasions whether it’s drinks with friends, date night or dinner with the family.

2FM’s Fergal Darcy performed DJ duties for the evening’s fashion show, which included looks from the range such as knits, super soft T-shirts, jeans trousers and jackets.

Culdaff Singer Matthew Crampsey kept the crowd entertained on the night. Singer and social media star Garron Noone also performed while Nathan closed out the night singing hits like Wagon Wheel, making it a family affair with his brother Jake on guitar.

Created as an easy-to-wear range, Carter Clothing has everything you need in one place. Dressing well plays a big part in how we feel about ourselves and how the world sees us. Putting together an outfit isn’t easy, many people simply don’t know where to start when it comes to styling outfits, so with that in mind Nathan decided to create a collection that made this easy.

With a price point that caters for different budgets, Carter Clothing will help you add key pieces to your wardrobe.

The Donegal 100% merino wool jumpers are investment pieces, and the designs are an updated nod to the Irish fishing and agricultural communities of the 70s. As the seasons change, the heavy knit jumper traditional piece of clothing that will see you through not only this winter but many more to come, made right here in Ireland.  With layering a key component of the collection, you can add or take away a layer, depending on the ever-changing weather conditions!

Choose from a range of base layers, shirts, jeans, trousers, woollen garments and jackets, to create endless variations that look great on you.  Whilst this range was designed primarily for men, there are many pieces within the collection that women can wear too. In fact, Nathan deliberately designed a few key pieces knowing that the ladies would buy them for themselves (or steal them off their partner!) Whoever wears it, however they wear it, Nathan wants people to feel amazing in Carter Clothing.

Nathan says: “Looking my best has been a big part of my career as a performer. For me, if I am happy with how I look, I automatically feel more confident, whether I am walking out on stage or out socialising with friends. I wanted to create a collection of clothes that gives everyone the ability to dress well with minimal effort – classic pieces of good quality.

“There’s some of my own influences in there too, a lot of cool black items, smart stuff that doesn’t feel restrictive or too ‘try-hard’ and a bit of leisure wear for long days driving or going to the gym. I love boats as well as everything Irish, so you’ll see some of that in there as well.”

Carter Clothing is available now in selected stores nationwide and online from carterclothing.ie.
