Congratulations to Ailbhe MacMahon (5th Year) who was the overall winner of the 2011 Reinvent Fashion School Competition hosted by Griffith College, Dublin on Wednesday, 25th May. The 2010 event saw over 170 entries from 40 schools around the country.
The annual Griffith College Creative Show on Wednesday, 25th May, was an evening that had been highly anticipated by many, including finalists of the Reinvent Fashion competition like myself. I had entered the competition months previously, and my surprise of being picked as one of the six finalists to have their dress modelled professionally in Griffith College, Dublin's Creative Show 2011 was still resonant.
Myself and Miss Mahon caught glimpses of Louis Copeland and Peter O'Brien through the crowd as the lights dimmed and the show started. Aside from our dresses, products of the College's Creative Department were on show, presenting an interesting mix of designs. I know everyone says this, but I truly didn't expect to win, which explained the look of shock on my face as I was awarded a bouquet of flowers and a new sewing machine.

Some of our Chinese students celebrated the Mooncake Festival this morning with traditional treats, and stories about the holiday. The round shape of the mooncakes mirrors the bright harvest moon, symbolizing family togetherness and completeness.
