5 Of The Hottest Fashion Events On In Dublin This Month
With the end of the college year in sight, it's times for the most exciting events on the Dublin University calendars to take place - The Fashion Shows!!!
DCU is the first to host their 2010 Fashion Show, it's core theme being 'The Edge of Industry'.
This edgy, student run extravaganza will see an original and theatrical take on fashion. It will explore and exhibit fashion through an industrial and gothic view.
The show, run by DCU Style Society, will feature the 'Young Designer' competition, where Irish student fashion designers battle it out on stage with their original costumes to claim the coveted title of DCU Young Designer of the Year. This is a show not to be missed & I've already got my ticket.
It's on in The Mahony Hall in DCU tonight from 8pm. If you want to buy tickets (a bit last minute I know), you can do so here: http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase
But if you can't make it, don't worry as I will be writing a full report on who won to who's the 'One To Watch' & will hopefully have some street style pics to spoil you with too xoxo
I have a fond place in my heart for this particular show, as I had modeled in the fashion show when i was a DIT student.
The show, which has a “Rock Revolution” theme this year, is now in its seventh year and is run entirely by students from DIT.
It will be held in the idyllic venue in Dublin's City Centre, that is Vicar Street.
Tickets for the DIT Fashion Show cost €20 for students and €25 for non students and are available from DIT Student Union shop and from Tickets.ie
Now in its seventh year, on March 24th the Nokia Young Fashion Designer Award (NYFDA) is the premier student design award in Ireland. The competition is part of the curriculum in many of the leading colleges across the country, as it offers final year fashion and design students an opportunity to showcase their talent and gain industry recognition. Previous winners have gone on to work within the fashion industry & every year what I look forward to most is to see whom the guest judges will be. Previous predecessors been style blogger extraordinaire, Suzie Bubble & this year the one I am most excited about is Yvan Rodic of the legendary street style blog, Face Hunter.
From Thursday 25th March to Sunday 28th, there will also be an exhibition held in the old Circus Store in Powerscourt Townhouse Centre. This 4 day event will also give visitors the chance to attend a number of talks and events over the few days & for those fashion savvy among you who currently live in Dublin - THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
