LUCKY STAR FASHION design in Ireland is never an easy career path but Athlone native Deirdre Brennan from LSAD must be thanking her lucky stars this week having become Nokia Young Fashion Designer of the year 2007. Her collection, 'Hideous Kinky', was the clear winner at the competition, judged by designers Pauric Sweeney, Jonathan Saunders and Leigh Tucker.
