Young Designer of the Year Awards 2023
Young Designer of the Year Awards 2023

At Project Fashion, we create after school workshops and classes for aspiring young designers all over Ireland. Each year we host our annual fashion show, the Young Designer of the Year Awards, to showcase our students amazing creations and fundraise for a charity.

In 2023 we raised €20,000 for BUMBLEance with the support of our talented and dedicated students.

Young Designer of the Year Awards 2024 will be supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland. This years event will be inspired by our Sidewalk to Catwalk collection. Our new collection embraces styles from 50’s, 60’s and 70’s including Hippy, Greasers, Mod, Glamour and Punk.

This is an exciting opportunity for our students to show off their custom piece they’ve created in class during the year.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland help families with sick children, supporting them with accommodation, care and support, for as long as they are undergoing treatment in Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin.
