Nokia Young Fashion Designer 09

Angelica from Brazil models a dress made from a single piece of wool by Irish Knitwear designer Tim Ryan as Nokia launch the Nokia Young Fashion Designer Award 2009.

The dress was re-constructed in a video filmed by up-and-coming London based Irish-artist Laura Gannon, to give peoplea taste of how much work goes into making a single garment and in turn, how much work this year’s 20 NYFDA finalists have put into making their designs.
