Limerick School Of Art & Design Showcase

Limerick School of Art & Design, LIT, is delighted to partner with Limerick City and County Council to present the LSAD 360° Fashion Show. Sponsored by AIB, the show takes place on Thursday, 11th May, 2017, at The LSAD Gallery. The former church will provide the perfect backdrop to showcase the inspiring new designs from Ireland’s next generation of fashion designers.

Recently named in the top 100 fashion schools in the world, the LSAD fashion department, and the graduate degree, is the largest fashion degree programme in Ireland and has launched the careers of some of Ireland’s top designers like Joanne Hynes. Twenty of this year’s talented graduates will showcase their unique creations at the 360° Fashion Show, which will have an international twist, as a number of the graduates have returned from exciting intercontinental work placements with Marc Jacobs, New York, Manish Arora, India and Lever Couture, Berlin.

Speaking about the upcoming fashion show, Aisling Farinella, the fashion show’s producer says, ‘’I am delighted to work with LSAD on the 2017 graduate fashion show. The college consistently produces some of our most exciting fashion talent, inspiring unique creativity and innovation in design. The show this year will reflect the international standard of LSAD fashion students in a fresh and contemporary production.”

2016 was another hugely successful year for LSAD students who won; The Student Designer of the Year Award at The Fashion Innovation Awards, The Future Makers Student of the Year Award, IDI Graduate Designer Award (fashion category), People To Watch, Irish Times, (Michael Stewart) and the AIB/IFIL Work Bursary Award, (three month full time work placement with London based Irish designer Richard Malone.)
