London-based Offaly designer named as semi-finalist for international fashion award

TULLAMORE College is delighted to celebrate the success of past pupil Sinéad O’Dwyer, who has been named a semi-finalist for the LVMH Prize 2025—one of the most prestigious awards in global fashion.

Sinéad, now a London-based designer, founded her eponymous womenswear brand in 2021. Her work is defined by a striking balance between soft sensuality and imposing toughness, creating deeply personal and emotionally driven narratives.

With a strong commitment to diversity and inclusivity, Sinéad designs luxury garments with craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability central to each creation.

The LVMH Prize, established in 2013, celebrates outstanding creativity and emerging talent in fashion.

As a semi-finalist, Sinéad will present her collection during Paris Fashion Week, where industry experts will select the finalists.

Should she progress, she will be in contention for a €300,000 grant and a year-long mentorship from the luxury conglomerate LVMH, which owns brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Givenchy - an opportunity that could significantly elevate her career.

This is a remarkable achievement, and we are incredibly proud of Sinéad’s journey from Tullamore College to the international fashion stage.
