NCAD Student Takes to the Circus

One of the first stories I covered on the blog was the exciting and inspiring DIT Fashion Show, one of the finalists of which was Clare Geraghty with her urban-inspred “Fractions Collection”. She then went on to become a finalist in the highly prestigious Nokia Young Fashion Designer Award shortly afterwards. The latest news is that her talent and creativity for fantastic design have caught the eye of the peeps at the Circus Boutique. Her “Lumerie” collection will go on show here until the end of the month. Her pieces range in price from €50 – €350.
