LSAD student takes first place in national fashion competition

Student designer Aisling McDonnell is celebrating after winning the Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Dress of Your Dreams competition 2010.

Aisling, from Ballina, Co Mayo, is a first-year student at the Limerick School of Art and Design and her prize includes a cheque for €1,000 towards her fashion career and the Gillette Venus crystal trophy. She will also feature in a national advertorial.

Aisling designed a show-stopping dress incorporating the new Venus Spa Breeze blush pink colours.

The brief from Gillette to art students around the country was to create the “ultimate movie-premiere dress” – a show stopping dress that enhances every woman’s silky smooth legs for the summer, incorporating the “Tickled Pink” theme while successfully creating a look of red carpet glamour using the pink blush Venus Spa Breeze colour scheme as their inspiration.
