We are delighted to welcome Caroline Kilkenny’s Autumn/Winter 2014 collection into Design Centre. One of our favourite Irish designers, Kilkenny hasn’t disappointed us this season with a vibrant display of jewel tones and sumptuous wintery fabrics. The wrap coat, which comes in a rich navy and a punchy red, is already a DC favourite, and the ‘Angel’ dress is attracting the gaze of every window shopper! Whether you’re looking for the perfect coat for the cold months ahead, a fabulous dress for the party season, or an elegant outfit for a wedding, this designer collection is for you! Pop in store to try it on, we have a full range of sizes and colours now but it definitely won’t last long!

Young designers from across Ireland will have to chance to showcase their vision for fashion, and compete for the title of Young Designer of the Year in one of Ireland’s largest fashion events. To enter, budding designers need to send in images or a short video of their work by email along with the application form to [email protected] before 5.30pm on Friday, 1st August, 2014.

Last year’s winner, Claire Lynam, is preparing to pass on her Young Designer of the Year title after a very successful year. Following her graduation from NCAD, Claire is now a design assistant at River Island in London. Claire’s interesting and dynamic designs won her the title last year, against many other young and talented entrants and now the search is on for the next big thing in fashion.

Searching for the most creative and innovative designs that can own the runway, the Dublin Fashion Festival Young Designer of the Year judging panel consists of Ireland’s leading fashion commentators, icons, designers and buyers.
