The Young Designer Of The Year Is…
The Young Designer of The Year took place at the stunning Bank of Ireland building right in the heart of Dublin City. The building that is usually associated with a bank was transformed into a runway to showcase designs of the up and coming Irish fashion designers. Between car horns & flash lights, the fashion show was one to remember. Check out the 12 designs that made it to the final and here you can get the full list.
