Set against the stunning backdrop of Ballynahinch Castle in Connemara, Co Galway, the setting was nothing short of magical.
This showcase marked a significant milestone for Aoife, being the first time she unveiled over 20 looks in one show.
It was a historic moment, and she truly rose to the occasion with a collection that was as elegant as it was forward-thinking.
The Holman Lee Agency was thrilled to have both Ivanna McMahon and I walk the runway for Aoife’s collection. It was a proud moment to represent such extraordinary Limerick talent on such a grand stage.
Closing out the fabulous week was none other than the extraordinary Paul Costelloe.
His much-anticipated show was held in the beautifully transformed City Hall in Dublin, where the iconic rotunda provided an elegant and historic backdrop for what can only be described as a masterclass in fashion.
With decades of experience and an unmistakable signature style, Paul delivered a collection that blended timeless tailoring with bold, modern touches.
It was the perfect finale to a week that celebrated creativity, craftsmanship, and the bright future of Irish fashion.
