Galway-based production company ‘Golden Egg Productions’ has decided to honour the work of new and innovative Irish fashion designers with the first ‘Fashion Innovation Awards’ which will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Galway on March 18th next.
The contest is open to fashion designers, and fashion students from fashion colleges, throughout Ireland both North and South.
The awards are a celebration of Golden Egg’s tenth year in business. The company who publish the magazines Galwaynow, Limericknow, and Weddingsnow is headed up by Patricia McCrossan who says: “The awards aim to give visibility, support and a voice to young talent from every corner of Ireland, north and south, offering a fantastic opportunity for their work to be shown to a jury made up of fashion design and journalism experts.”
Awards will be given in the following categories: ‘Student Designer of the Year’, ‘Accessory Designer of the Year’, ‘Jewellery Designer of the Year,’ and ‘Designer of the Year’. A very special award will be given for ‘Contribution to Irish Fashion’ which will be nominated by the judges who include some of the most respected names in the Irish fashion industry including Eddie Shanahan, world-famous jewellery designer Slim Barrett, Deirdre McQuillan of the Irish Times, as well as TG4’s 'Paisean Faisean' presenter Blathnaid Ni Dhonnchadha.
Anyone wishing to participate in the awards should log on to www.goldenegg.ie/events for more details. The finalists in each category will be announced on 1st February.
