DIT Foundation Student Design Award Unzipped!

The lucky winner of this year’s Student Design Award will receive an original piece of bronze sculpture specially created for the DIT Alfa Romeo Fashion Show 2010. The Student Design Award is sponsored by DIT Foundation who commissioned Dublin based sculptor and DIT graduate Jason Crowley to create this great piece!

The Student Design Award recognises the best fashion designer amongst the eight shortlisted finalists and the winner will be announced at the show in Vicar Street on March 24th.

As a DIT graduate himself, Jason Crowley was thrilled to be asked to create the award. According to Jason, his work was inspired by the theme for this year’s show, ‘Rock Revolution’. “With this in mind I was drawn to the idea of black leather and biker culture, looking to the biker jacket for inspiration, I decided to use the “zipper” as the model on which to extract an arrangement for the award’s design. The zipper was appropriate for a couple of reasons. Firstly, as a sculptor/ metal finisher it appealed to me simply for its metallic nature and formal arrangement. In addition, I felt it was appropriate simply due to its prevalent use throughout the fashion industry,” he said.

As well as sponsoring the Student Design Award, DIT Foundation is the nominated charity for the DIT Alfa Rome Fashion Show. All proceeds raised from this year’s Fashion Show will go to the Foundation, in particular to the Student Assistance Fund, which helps students who are in financial difficulty to complete their studies.
