500 final year students at the National College of Art and Design are getting ready for their graduate showcase.

The projects include sustainable fashion inspired by the Botanical Gardens, a ceramic project exploring childhood anxiety and a range of folding furniture for adventurous pursuits in nature.

The week long showcase is open to the public and is an opportunity for potential clients, collectors and employers to see what the best in Irish design have to offer.

We had a sneak peak at the fashion display and got to meet some of the designers.
