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.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
