DIT Student Design Awards



Last week the semi finals for the DIT Alfa Romeo Student Design awards were held in the Morrisons Hotel in Dublin. The show was bursting with outstanding talent but one design in particular caught my attention...



Amy McAlindin's design 'For the Birds' was a unique eye catching interpretation of the fashion show brief 'A Bad Romance.' The medley of fabrics and stitching patterns told the story of 'a broken heart, evil revenge and a curse on young love.' The design was immaculately pieced together, down to the talon inspired shoes. The dress and jacket were embellished with hundreds of beads which made the design sparkle on the catwalk. It was quite literally one of the most striking pieces of art I have seen, don’t think this will be the last we hear of this budding designer...


Best of Luck in the final Amy!!
