If you have a passion for fashion, then it may well be worth your while heading to the Aghadoe Heights Hotel & Spa this September for an exclusive preview what's on trend for the coming autumn/winter season.

Enjoy a wonderful afternoon of superb food and wine in The New Collections Fashion Luncheon on Sunday, September 29, produced by Orla Diffily and her team at Upfront Model Management in association with Radio Kerry and Kelliher's Toyota, Tralee.

In addition to showcasing new collections from top designers and boutiques, the afternoon will also separately focus on sustainable style and how each of us can make a difference.

MC’ed by Elaine Kinsella from Radio Kerry, the New Collections Fashion Luncheon will commence with a ‘live from the red carpet’ as guests arrive followed by a champagne reception in the newly opened Terrace Bar.

Guests will enjoy a sumptuous four course luncheon with fine wines. Hair and make-up is by the multi award winning team at Sean Taaffe Group and there will also be a Best Dressed Lady and gift bags.

This stylish event is absolutely unmissable for everyone who loves fashion and want to see first what’s new for the autumn/winter season, Orla Diffily told the Killarney Advertiser.

“If you are looking to treat yourself to a fashionable and fun afternoon - with wonderful cuisine and fine wines - then this luncheon in the magical setting of the Aghadoe Heights Hotel is for you,” she said.

“As well as an exclusive first look at the latest trends for everyday and occasions, we will also showcase style from two of Ireland’s top designers. After lunch and the show everyone is welcome to stay on and join us for drinks accompanied by the Aghadoe’s pianist in the lounge."

A limited number of early bird tickets are on sale now from Eventbrite for €80 plus booking fee. There after they will be €90 plus booking fee. Early booking is advised as due to size of the venue capacity at this event is limited, she added.

“Stay tuned to Radio Kerry and social media for exclusive weekly reveals and lots of behind the scenes coverage of this exciting new fashion event.”
