LSAD's International Fashion Incubator is a fashion first for Limerick

It’s one of the top 50 fashion colleges in the world — and now LSAD is launching an ambitious programme to mentor new designers, writes Lorraine Courtney.

WE SHOULD take the news that Limerick is about to become a global fashion incubator as a gigantic fillip to our national pride.

In 2012 the Limerick School of Art and Design’s Fashion Department was ranked as one of the top 50 fashion colleges worldwide, the only Irish college to be included in the list, and now it’s announced exciting plans for the opening of the International Fashion Incubator Limerick.
