SHANNON AIRPORT will have a very stylish best foot forward on Tuesday December 6, when some of the region’s top fashion houses will present their best wares for the upcoming Christmas season at the airport.
In a throw-back to the famous fashion shows of yesteryear at Shannon, the ‘Fashion on the Runway’ event will be the region’s ultimate and biggest Christmas sartorial shopping guide for both sexes, with items from leading houses from Clare, Limerick and Tipperary all set for the runway. Proceeds from the event will go to the airport’s designated charities.
Special guest and presenter on the night, Aisling O’Loughlin, is one of Ireland’s best loved fashion experts, Shannon native, TV presenter, journalist and founder/editor of Exquisite.ie.
There’s a fantastic prize on the night of return flights to Stockholm on the recently announced SAS flight operating from Shannon in 2017, while there will also be a special draw for a range of other attractive prizes, including an overnight stay and breakfast at the 5-star Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Doonbeg. There will also be a best dressed lady and gentleman prize – kindly sponsored by Gleeson Goldsmith, Ballycasey, Shannon – on the night.
Shannon Airport Operations Director Niall Maloney, who will turn fashion model for the event, said: “It should be great fun but modelling novices like myself will probably treat it less like a fashion runway and more like an airport one – the quicker we get up and away the better,” he joked.
“There’s a very meaningful side to it in that the proceeds from the night will go towards our designated charities for 2016, Galway’s Ábalta Special School for children with autism and complex needs and the Irish Children’s Arthritis Network (iCAN). Christmas is a really great time to support these charities and we are delighted that the airport community has come together and really got behind this worthwhile event, we’re really looking forward to the night.”
