The Nokia Ambassadors lived it up last night at the Nokia Young Fashion Designer Awards! It was a highly anticipated night for the Dublin Fashionista scene & lived up to all expectations. We were invited to promote 7310 Supernova!

We had 3 handsets to give away - Best dressed male, best dressed female and a golden ticket that was hidden under one of the seats beside the catwalk.
It was an unbelievable night, we were last up to the catwalk so we got put right beside the models - there were no complaints from me!

The overall winner of the Nokia Young Fashion Designer Award was Aoife Gallagher from Limerick Senior College with her supernova inspired creation. Along with the honour of winning the competition, Aoife collected a cheque for €5000 along with a huge amount of press and respect within the fashion world!

Runners-up were Lynn Allen and Ciara Glynn who each collected cheques for €1000.

DIT Fashion Show

by user on March 13th, 2009

Last night was one of the biggest nights in the DIT calendar with the DIT Fashion show hitting Vicar Street. I was modeling in the show myself and all the models and crew had a brilliant night and that was before the after party in Tivoli! Nokia came on board and helped with the funding of the show by putting an advert in the programme.

This year the theme of the show was ‘Tribal Expression - the urban theory’, One city, many tribes! I my self was in the Hippy Bohemian tribe. Last night the show allowed the audience to explore the city that is the catwalk and the tribes that walk it, breathe and live it! The clothes gracing the catwalk were a mixture of colourful and cutting edge styles by international brands sourced from high street stores.
