Aspiring Irish Designers Called To Enter The Peroni Moda Awards

The launch of the Peroni Moda awards in Dublin

Not living in Ireland? You could just skip straight to this earlier post.

Emporio Peroni  is back. In celebration of Italian style this pop up boutique  - based this year at No 6 Castle Market Street, Dublin - will be open till June 6th, showcasing looks from the SS12 collection by Italian designer Marco de Vincenzo.

And to coincide with the event this year, Peroni Nastro Azzurro have also launched The Peroni Moda Awards, to discover Ireland's up and coming design talent.

The premium Italian beer brand is challenging aspiring Irish designers to create a fashion look that celebrates their iconic blue ribbon (that's the English translation of Nastro Azurro, fact fans).

10 finalists will be chosen to create their vision, which will be displayed at a Dublin fashion show in October. The winner will have the opportunity to work directly with De Vincenzo in Milan, as he prepares his AW13 collection for his Milan Fashion Week show.
