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.
