I was covering the show for, of course, Vintage Venom, but also Style Eyes, another site I collaborate with, you can check out the corresponding article on the Style Eyes website here.
So I was able to get some amazing photo's from my seat, luckily we managed to get a front row spot at the end of the catwalk. All of the graduate designer's collections were incredibly cutting-edge and each fashion student had something unique to present.
Tish Carroll
Statement: Children's proportions and posture have been the main driving force for the creation of a collection which contrasts structural tailored elements with voluminous lightweight fabrics.
Rachel Duke
Naoise Farrell
Statement: This collection is a response t the overt consumerism of the celtic tiger years, and to the liberal nature of contemporary dance. arments reference classic menswear, with working illustrations printed on the exterior, exposing the veracity of the process.
Lily Spain
Statement: My collection is based on the contrast between a world that has become obsessed with plastics and synthetics in it's quest for perfection and the earthy, raw traditional elements that are being left behind as a result.
Hannah Choy O'Byrne
Statement: A glance into the world of a collector and their relationship with their cllection.
Blending reality with obsession through fabric manipulation and dramatic shapes.
Gwen Cunningham
Statement: Documenting the Story of a garment from inception to demise, from designer to wearer.
Mapping the lived in space between the retail rail and bedroom floor.
Clean, crisp, steril. Crumpled, stained, over-loved.
Intent vs. trace.
Order vs. chaos.
Everything is worthless again.
Elaine Cawley
Project Title: Autoscopy
Autoscopy- seeing one's own body from an elevated and distanced visuo-spatial perspective.
Inspired by the work of photographer Francesca Woodman, this collection is an exploration of self representation against the external environment through clothing. Woodman chooses herself as the subject in her portraits, sometimes manipulating her body physically or perceptivley as a statement of taking control of herself as subject and not object.
Ciara Lennon
Project Title: Untitled
Statement: Exploring urban environments to inspire a casual, fresh menswear collection using contrasting fabrics for Spring/Summer.
Caoimhe Mac Neice
Project Title: Wrap
Statement:
Exploring the concept of a misleading online persona, a person reduced to pixels or squares on a scren. Garments are reduced to these pixels or squares, which are warped and distorted by the body.
Audrey Kennealy
Project Title: Reverie
Statement: Body forms distorting prints and knit to create illusions through movement of the wearer. A colour story inspired by personal imagery of Dublin's architecture.
Anna Gyo
Statement: "Lackaghmore" my home in Donegal is the inspiration for my collection. The visual contrast between masculine and feminine will be explored through silhouette and fabrication. My collection embodies the strength, dynamics and power of a family of women and their sense of place.
Andrew Bell
Project Title:
Wrap. Clench. Clutch. Consume.
The collection observes both the real and intangible relationship between the Woman and her handbag. Garments draw the physical link between the bag, the body and the body language of the wearer. Silhouettes are all-consuming in their portrayal of the overpowering relationship between the fashion accessory and the self.
Amie Egan
Project Title: Gut Instinct
Statement: Necessity serves as motivation for creativity. How we produce and live in our clothes is determined by our surroundings.
My collection is a response to our drastically changing worrld and climate.
Alice Doherty
Statement: Contrasts make for dramatic statements. Creating narrative by contrasting light and dark, striking structures, flowing prints and elaborate textures.
Aimee Chan
Statement: The issue of cultural appropriation versus cultural misappropriation comes to the fore: what constitutes as acceptable in today's society when we observe the globalisation of indigenous culture in contempory fashion? A study of the appropriator and the appropriated is conducted as social politics, multiculturalism and cultural identity are explored.
That's all my snaps from the show, except for a few I took a the beginning when the 3rd years were showcasing, but I might make a seperate post about them as this one is already so long.
The entire show was amazing and enjoy browsing the photos of each collection.
