Holman Lee Agency models with Marion Murphy Cooney, designer who collaborated with Jo Malone and the Savoy Hotel to host a stunning September soirée
FASHION, fragrance and tea was the tagline for a wonderfully prestigious event which I had the true honour of attending over the weekend, and it delivered on each of those promises!
An afternoon tea with a drop of luxury and hint of sparkle saw designer Marion-Murphy Cooney link with the beautiful Jo Malone brand to host an opulent afternoon in none-other than the Savoy, Limerick.
A feast for the senses, we saw clothes carefully combined with Jo Malone scents for Holman Lee Agency models to showcase, while tastes of sweet treats were enjoyed by crowds of anticipating onlookers.
Those in attendance enjoyed a day of indulgence and splendour in their five-star surroundings.

The collaboration was one of perfection and was a magnificent fusion of taste, smell and sight, with Marion Murphy-Cooney showcasing her latest designs of the autumn-winter season.
A kaleidoscope of colour and hints of autumnal fragrances, mixed with light scents and elegance made the day a delight.
The food and drinks we enjoyed were outstanding, as they always are in the Savoy.
There were two sittings on the day, Saturday, September 28.
The ticket-based event took place from 1pm and from 3:30pm, so the models had their work cut out for them!
With the weather proving cold and wet at the moment, what better time to get inspiration on how to properly style clothes you can mix and match, rather than light garments that are more summer-suited?
It was wonderful to get to chat to the stylish Limerick ladies in attendance, who we are so grateful to have joined us.
I do hope there will be more similar events in the future, considering it proved so popular with the public.
The appetite is most definitely there for events of this calibre!
