My name is Liadan Scott-Keogh. I am currently in my third year studying for a BA (Honours Degree) in Fashion Design at the Limerick School of Art and Design, Limerick Institute of Technology, Ireland. The Fashion department at the Limerick School of Art and Design has been ranked among the top 50 Fashion Institutions worldwide.
This course covers many aspects within area of fashion. Within my second year I was introduced to areas such as fashion design of both womenswear and menswear, knitwear including hand knit and machine knit,pattern drafting,pattern cutting,manual grading and garment construction.I have gained these skills through completing projects which allowed me to further develop my style and skills as a designer. I have also gained skills within Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and presentational skills. This year is dedicated to a variation of projects which allows me to further develop my interests and own creative direction as a designer.My current project is to develop a two piece statement which contains two full looks that have been developed from a story which I have created. My aim within my project is develop my understanding of the body and its form in relation to its psychological state connecting with its physical state. I chose to focus on the area of schizophrenia. As a designer I am interested in layering,and exposing different sections within my garments. I am really inspired by designers such as Comme de Garcon and Andrea Jiapei Li for their inspirational and avant-garde use of spec and design. As part of our third year program, we have a 3-6 month internship commencing in April 2015. This opportunity will enable me to see and experience first hand the workings of an established Design house or Designer. An internship will allow me to build on technical, industrial and professional skills. This is my online portfolio which contains examples of who I am as a designer in the areas of design,pattern drafting and construction. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work and I hope that you have enjoyed it. Liadan |
