'Stitches in Time' - Press Release
PRESS RELEASE ISSUED ON BEHALF OF THE
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF IRELAND
PREAS RÁITEAS THAR CEANN ARD-MHÚSAEM NA
hÉIREANN
You are invited to the
launch of
‘Stitches in
Time: Fashion inspired by the Soldiers & Chiefs Exhibition’
at the National Museum of Ireland
- Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks, Dublin at 2pm on Saturday 20th
September 2014
opened by LSAD
Graduate Niamh Lunny, Head
of Costume Design
at the Abbey Theatre.
Dress
designs inspired by gas-masks, 18th century soldier’s helmets,
rifles and a WWI parachute are among a dozen truly amazing garments on display
at the National Museum at Collins Barracks.
The
12 garments, inspired by the Museum’s award-winning exhibition, ‘Soldiers & Chiefs’, were designed
and made by a group of creative second year students of the BA (Hons) in
Fashion Design at Limerick School of Art
& Design L.I.T.
Students researched and designed from the
following themes;
·
The Wild Geese –
those Irish soldiers who fought in foreign armies, such as the French, Spanish
and Austrian armies from the 16th to 19th centuries
·
World Wars I and
II
·
The Irish Defence
Force
Michelle Molloy,
Fashion Design Lecturer at Limerick School of Art & Design said:
“The Fashion Department at Limerick School of Art and
Design are delighted with this partnership with the National Museum. Our students had the opportunity to research
and document the Soldiers and Chiefs exhibition first-hand, forming a valuable
understanding of the importance of primary research within their work. This
hands-on approach has greatly enhanced their understanding of historical
uniform and artefacts which is evident in the standard of finish and detail in
the final garments.”
The Museum is delighted to be involved in this partnership, according
to Helen Beaumont, Education & Outreach Officer at Collins Barracks - “This
project is an excellent example of the National Museum working in partnership
with a third level educational institution and also of fulfilling our remit as
a source of inspiration for young designers and artists.”
The
exhibition is on display at Collins Barracks until 26th October
2014.

Eadaoin Ni Drisceoil is the recipient of the inaugural Irish Fashion Incubation Limerick Bursary. This is not a student placement but a real job for a capable fashion designer. She will be based in Paris working alongside the highly accomplished international designer Sharon Wauchob who hails from Co Tyrone.

Limerick School of Art and Design
Eadaoin Ni Drisceoil is the recipient of the inaugural Irish Fashion Incubation Limerick Bursary. This is not a student placement but a real job for a capable fashion designer. She will be based in Paris working alongside the highly accomplished international designer Sharon Wauchob who hails from Co Tyrone.
Ni Drisceoil studied fashion design at Limerick School of Art and Design (LSAD), an institution listed in the top fifty fashion colleges in the world. Winning the IFIL prize here, in competition with twenty-six other graduating designers with international work experience, testifies to her distinction.
Ni Drisceoil exhudes an aura of quiet confidence. Her understanding of the fashion business is already mature. And her appreciation that creativity must have a purpose is crucial in the context of fashion and its fiercely competitive marketplace. Acutely aware of the scope of the business; she is keen to learn more about photography, styling, production and technology. This holistic approach is central to developing a career as a Creative Director at her own label or for one of the leading international brands.
Somewhat unusually for a recent graduate, references to consumers and to the ability of a designer to respond to the needs of the market ‘season’ her conversation.
In selecting the IFIL bursary winner, Sharon Wauchob was consciously looking for someone with the ability to bring a fresh and alternative point of view to the classical influences that often pervade the world’s fashion capitol. Paris offers an exciting opportunity for Eadaoin Ni Drisceoil. I expect she will make her mark.
