My Week with Celia Holman Lee: From the field to fashion fun!
FARMING, fashion and a family fun day - the Limerick Show had it all once again this year!
It was an amazing day - the sun shone and people came in their thousands and everyone was in high spirits.
The annual agricultural show is something a little different, which is always welcome. It’s good to mix it up sometimes, yet keeping to what I know, fashion!
There were a tonne of activities on offer and it was an honour to host the fashion event in Limerick Racecourse in Patrickswell, and give the gift of fashion to those who wanted a look.
Over 10 fashion houses from Adare, Limerick city and Nenagh displayed some autumnal fashion, as the autumn/winter season creeps up on us.
The designers, such as Ber McNamara, a wonderful designer from Pallaskenry, showcased superb tailoring on the day, as well as the likes of Marion Murphy-Cooney who displayed some in-season dresses and jumpsuits to the eager audience.
We also had Marlene & Co, an eco-conscious boutique with wonderfully sustainable designs. Aoife McNamara, the ‘it’ girl at the moment for fashion and sustainability, was also involved in the catwalk show. Her looks went down a treat!
White Feather Boutique, located on Denmark St in the heart of Limerick city, had some fabulous little showstoppers on display and at great prices too!
Leather bags made locally in Limerick are really worth looking into, as I thought they were utterly fabulous.
And, of course, one could never be without Sinead’s Boutique, as you would not be chosen best dressed at a wedding if you’re not visiting there.
I was very impressed with Adare Woolen Mills, with their selection of Irish fabrics, tweeds and linens.
All models were from the Holman Lee Agency, and we were delighted with the reception we received. Looking forward to next year already!
