Cathy said: “Fashion lovers and design students from colleges throughout Ireland have been invited to enter this prestigious competition which will bring one lucky winner some fantastic opportunities in fashion including having their design made into a commercial garment by leading couturier Una Rodden; as well as seeing it on the catwalk at Belfast FASHIONWEEK and having it photographed by top fashion photographer Khara Pringle. On top of this, the winner will also win a scholarship to attend a course at the London College of Fashion which will further develop and hone their design talent.
“We've been assessing some of the competition entries already but people can enter right up until 10 September and the great thing is that you don't need to have any design experience to win this prize.
The winning design will be showcased on the finale night's show at the Europa on Saturday 15 October and then rounding off the overall schedule is the ever popular Style Sunday event, which will take place in James Street South restaurant on Sunday 16 October. This glamorous three course gourmet luncheon accompanies trend forecasts, a mini fashion show and seasonal style tips from some of the country's top style experts and is very often sold out within days of being launched.
Throughout the week, breast cancer charity Pretty'n'Pink will collect funds at all shows to support women who need to feel better about themselves after undergoing debilitating breast cancer surgery or treatment.
