Successful Fashion students starting their careers
We have had some fantastic feedback from our recent fashion graduates this week. Caroline Punch completed our part-time Fashion Buying & Merchandising course last year. After some time spend in London working in a high end fashion boutique she is now back in Dublin and ready to embark on her fashion here in. We put her in touch with Arnotts who were offering internship programmes for the summer and we are delighted to say that Caroline starts with Arnotts next week. Over the course of the 6 week intern programme Caroline will get to work with the Fashion team in preparing for Pennys Seasonal Press Day. She will also get to work within the Homeware department allowing Caroline to gain experience in both buying and merchandising strategies.

Fashionista Rail SalesCreating visuals for Fran & Jane
Fran & Jane, an Irish fashion brand which is going from strength to strength are great supporters of the growing fashion and retail sector in Ireland. Portobello Institute were delighted to partner with the brand last year whereby they offered our Fashion Buying and Merchandising students the opportunity to design a window display for their Dublin store windows. Last years winner Aifric Dunne says winning the competition gave her a real taster of what it would be like to work in the fashion industry. Subsequently Aifric was successful on completing an internship programme with Arnotts and is now a full time employee of the Irish owned department store, a role she relished having gained the confidence from winning the Fran & Jane competition last year.
