Due to difficulty with the memory card in my camera, I had trouble getting access to these photos until now but I have been going crazy trying to get them uploaded as this was an amazing event that I had the honour of being a part of.

FashionFest was the first of its kind in Derry/Londonderry and was a series of fashion events and shows which spanned an entire week. I was lucky enough to attend several of them and more importantly to display my own designs in them. On the Thursday night, my dress design made its catwalk debut in the Fashion Futures Competition and on the Saturday night I had the opportunity to display both of my dress creations at the Designer Show. Unfortunately I didn’t have an entire collection (as of yet) to showcase on the catwalk but it was amazing to have my pieces on display for the entire audience to see.

It was fantastic to see all of my favourite Northern Irish designers showcasing their collections so close to my home town and I have chosen a selection of my favourite looks from the show in the pictures below. 

I also had the chance to catch up with my many fashion friends on the night from designers to bloggers and photographers to model agents. It was a fantastic event and I cannot wait until next year to have my own collection featured in the show!
