POISED to be the highlight of the season for style set, the Christmas in Killarney designer fashion event will take to the catwalk in the five-star Europe Hotel & Resort on November 17.

Now in its sixth year, this hugely successful night will be hosted by the Norma O’Donoghue Model Agency in the stunning Panoramic Restaurant at the award-winning Europe Hotel with the beautiful lakes and mountains of Killarney acting as a stunning backdrop.

On arrival guests will be greeted by none other than TV personality Noel Cunningham and enjoy champagne and canapés while being treated to some festive songs by well-known pianist Jack Patrick Healy. Following this, guests will be invited into the restaurant for a sumptuous meal with wine. After dinner the Parisian-style fashion show will begin featuring some of the top models from the Norma O Donoghue Model Agency.

The line-up this year is hugely impressive, with the wonderfully talented Helen Cody opening the show. Also showcasing on the night are Marion Murphy Cooney, Claire Garvey, Tina Griffin, Carol Kennelly, Charlotte and Jane, Rebekah Wall, Cathy Troth, Clodagh Irwin Owens, Mac Bee’s, Phoenix V, Jasmine, Kerry’s Boutique and Niamh O’Neill, Liz Quinn and Fee G from the Kilkenny stores.
"The designers showcasing this year are some of the very best in the country and I’m delighted they all wanted to take part in what has become one of the top fashion events of the season," said Norma.

On the night each lady will receive a goody bag worth €50. The prize for best-dressed lady will be sponsored by Keanes Jewellers, with the winner receiving an exquisite piece from the Keanes collection. A raffle will also take place with prices worth up to €250. The after-party will then take place in the beautiful residents bar, with talented musician Jack Patrick Healy back by popular demand to provide the entertainment into the wee hours.
