Many of the 4th year students worked with Hanna Hats this year to rework their deadstock fabric into their final collections. The second-year fashion students worked with St Vincent DePaul and Letterkenny Tidy Towns to highlight how preloved garments could be re-worked and upcycled into desirable fashion. The third and fourth years worked with Junk Kouture and the engineering department, Michael Tinney and fashion staff to design and create 16 striking trophies for their first world final held in Abu Dhabi in January. McElhinney’s Stores Ballybofey held mock buyer interviews with the third year students to advise on making their collections customer ready.
Across all programmes in the Department of Design & Creative Media, the hard-working students, supported by a team of dedicated staff have created a diverse body of wonderfully creative outcomes which you can view this Thursday. All are welcome to the launch event at the Letterkenny campus from 5.45pm.
