Congratulations to Aoife Malone, who won the size? sponsored Fashion Styling & Creative Direction Award at GFW
A huge congratulations to Aoife Malone who won this year’s Fashion Styling & Creation Direction Award, sponsored by size?. The student – from Heriot-Watt University – took to the stage to claim her trophy and a cash prize for her creative body of work, which was inspired by her heritage and upbringing in Belfast.
Through fashion photography and styling, Aoife’s work explored the contemporary politics and issues that still affect young people living in Northern Ireland today. The photography focuses on key issues, that in her opinion, are preventing Northern Ireland from becoming a progressive society; including attitudes towards abortion, same-sex marriage, loyalist marches, segregated schooling and punishment beatings.
The pictures below provide a snapshot of Aoife’s award-winning portfolio.
