Fashion extravaganza is a real winner at Enniscorthy Castle
A most splendid evening of glamour, glitz and all things fashion was had by those who attended Enniscorthy Castle on Saturday night last for the Fashion Extravaganza organised by Donal Cullen and in aid of Wexford Womens Refuge.
The Castle’s exquisite drawing room provided the perfect backdrop for the many fabulous fashion collections available in all our boutiques here in Enniscorthy giving each owner the opportunity to showcase their wares in this unique setting.
The intimate audience was treated to a selection of outfits from O’Faolain’s, Put A Bow On It, Glamour, Mary Elizabeth’s and Sofie’s Choice with Billy Doyle Shoes, Hair by Georges and Scissors Sisters, Make Up compliments of Finishing Touches and Serenity and the most stunning Hat Collection – Millinery Madness by local milliner Keira Warren.
Musical entertainment came from local artists, the outstanding Aisling Williams and Louise Morris and up and coming young talents Niamh Crowhurst and Lanna Busk and Pauline Ennis spoke on behalf of Wexford Womens Refuge saying how delighted she was that they had been chosen as the charity to benefit from such a marvellous event.
Pauline’s message to the women of Wexford suffering from domestic abuse was that they were not alone - Womens Refuge provides a 24 hour service and their mission is to support and empower women. One in five women in Ireland suffer some form of domestic abuse Pauline told the audience and this is totally unacceptable but it is only by speaking out about it that it can ever be stopped. The silence surrounding domestic abuse must be broken she said before thanking Donal Cullen and everyone else involved for their wonderful support.
A most enjoyable event and full marks to Donal Cullen for coming up with the idea and putting the work into it and to all the models and the boutiques for proving yet again that Enniscorthy has a lot to offer when it comes to style and elegance both on our streets and in our shops and well done to all of the fashion houses involved for providing such varied selections of style, size and splendor.
