"Thirteen Fashion Show" 2017

The second year Fashion Design and Accessories (QQI Level 5) students from Waterford VTOS, Durands Court, organised their annual fashion show featuring their Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The show was held at Waterford Golf Club, Ferrybank, Waterford, on 9 March 2017.

The Fashion Show showcased the students’ work completed over a two year period and was organised by the students. It was a wonderful opportunity for family, friends and the general public to view the collections.

Every piece in the collection was created individually by each student and was inspired by the diversity of cultures and backgrounds. The students drew their inspiration from a wide variety of sources including architecture, nature, music and foreign cultures. Each student designed, created the patterns, sewn the garments and accessorised all of the outfits in their collection.

During the two year duration of the course, the students had the opportunity to develop their design skills in various areas such as Batik, Combined Materials, Ceramics, Drawing, Pattern Drafting and Garment Construction.
