From fast food to fashion: Limerick's Chloe Koyce showcases KFC bucket couture at Galway Races
Limerick influencer Chloe Koyce officially debuted the bespoke fascinator and handbag at the Galway Races
FROM fried chicken to fashion statement, Limerick influencer Chloe Koyce unveiled one of the Galway Races' most unusual fashion statements as she showcased a bespoke KFC bucket-inspired handbag and fascinator.
KFC Ireland teamed up with acclaimed Irish designer Maya Grisham to reimagine its iconic bucket as a beautiful race-day fashion accessory, creating a one of a kind fascinator and matching KFC Bucket inspired handbag for the racing event.
Chloe Koyce and fashion stylist Emmanuel Agbons officially debuted the accessories trackside at Ballybrit Race Track on Tuesday.
Reinterpreting the bucket as a high-fashion accessory, the bespoke bag incorporates the distinctive shape, colours and unmistakable design elements for the race-day look.
Ladies' Day might not be until Thursday, but racegoers are getting a head start on the glam. Designed to turn heads, this unique accessory duo brought high-fashion energy trackside.
Racegoers at Ballybrit had the opportunity to see the bespoke designs throughout the opening day of the festival. The bucket-inspired accessories also marked the countdown to the opening of KFC's new restaurant in Knocknacara later this summer.
Casey Refault, a spokesperson for KFC Ireland, said:
“Race week is famous for its fashion, individuality and creativity. We wanted to put our own spin on those traditions by asking Ireland’s very-own fashion house, Maya Grisham, to reinterpret the iconic KFC bucket as a race-day accessory. It's a celebration of Irish design, race-day style and, if you'll pardon the pun, buckets of fashion.”
