The Triumph Awards 2012 : GO ON LIMERICK!!!!

 The Fifth annual Triumph awards took place last night in Dublin and it looks like Limerick scored a hat trick again! I do love the Triumph awards as its refreshing to see such a great level of student talent on offer. The winner will go on to represent Ireland at the Triumph awards in Shanghai this year and will also see their collection go on sale with Triumph.

 I am RAGING I couldn't go - I loved it last year - as I had to work!!!! But yet again this year was full of bright, colored and frankly, beautiful designs which really showcased the talent on offer.

 In the end it was Jordan Edwards Moore that took the first place prize with this futuristic piece entitled 'The Rorschach Test'. i love this. It's not only flattering but extremely beautiful in design. The piece was based on ink blot tests and how they can be transformed into patterns and lingerie.

 Second place went to Colin Hogan from Tralee - another LSAD student! His design entitled 'The Reborn Bionic' was based on metallic dragon skin. The theme this year was Dragons and Butterflies.

 Third place went to Leanne Ryan from Clare with her design, 'Beneath the Skin'... an exploration into the movement of butterfly wings.

The winner, Jordan will travel to Shanghai with 30 other winners from around the world to compete in October.

So this is the second year in a row that LSAD have scooped the three prizes! Maybe I am biased given I am former LSAD myself, but G'WAN THE LADS!!!!!!!!

Hope the fashion department give them a well deserved day off to recover after the celebrations!
