Each year Nokia holds the Young Fashion Designer of the Year Award and picks 12 finalists to feature in a grand catwalk show at one of Dublin’s coolest venues. This year the finalists came from Limerick School of Art and Design (all eight of them) and National College of Art and Design in Dublin, (four) two of the biggest design colleges in Ireland to put on a show of their best designs for a prize. And what a spectacular show it was! From floaty romantic dresses to futuristic shapes, clothes came in all shapes and colours.
