Alison McEvoy visits China with the National Tailoring Academy

Good luck to Alison McEvoy who is off   to Wuhan in China to represent Ireland an international student fashion competition. The very talented Alison will be on our postgrad Diploma course starting in January and although she'll be going as a student registered with the National Tailoring Academy in 2014 we can't take any credit for the wonderful collection she'll be showing which is her 2013 graduate LIT Limerick School of Art & Design degree collection based on the Kray twins.
