Well after searching the internet for my wire, i ordered some what i thought was the right stuff, recieved it in the post and unfortunately its the wrong one. :-( but all is not lost, i took a shopping trip to the local hardware store and found some wire, it is not exactly what i had planned to use, turns out its better, delighted!!!! Everything happens for a reason.
Tim Ryan will be our mentor for this years nokia awards, i spoke to him on the phone and have emailed him with questions, he has been very helpful. It is really great to get advice off an established deisgner!
Biography
- Yvonne Fleming
- After my leaving cert in 2000 I went on to study Software Design in the National College of Ireland. Upon finishing my degree with first class honours I joined the work force. This was new and exciting but I needed a creative outlet and signed up to do a part-time course in pattern cutting. It was then that I fell in love with the art of designing clothes and I haven't looked back since. I joined the Grafton Academy in 2006 where I am currently studying fashion design. My inspiration comes through a love of music and its influence on style over the years, quirky architecture such as Frank Gehry's Guggenheim, infact anything in my everyday life can be inspirational. I recently appeared on RTE's Nationwide showing how easy it is to update old and unworn garments into edgy wearable clothes. I also featured in the Irish examiner were I accepted a challenge to turn a drab and outdated bridesmaid dress into a contemporary outfit. The journalist was so impressed by the outcome that she wore the dress to an upcoming wedding. Upon finishing this course I hope to work for an established designer, gain as much experience as I can, and ultimately set up my own label.
