My week with Celia Holman Lee: Fashionfest’s catwalk never looked so good
The Holman Lee Agency models made me feel so proud on the night
RIVERFEST was a breath of fresh air.
Limerick was lit up for the entire bank holiday weekend. Events, festivities and good cheer animated the city streets. It was just wonderful to see everyone in good form and enjoying themselves.
The festival kept myself and the models of the Holman Lee agency incredibly busy, as we hosted Fashionfest.
This year we held the catwalk event in the stunning Gardens International. Over 20 absolutely stunning models were featured in our extravaganza.
Fashionfest showcased designs from students of the Limerick School of Art and Design and, for the first time, students from the Austin Community College’s Fashion Incubator.
Having students come all the way from Texas brought an international collaboration to the event - which made the event all the more special.
I was simply blown away by the creativity and brilliance of the students.
The poise, grace and sophistication of the Holman Lee models was outstanding as usual, and the audience were totally captivated by the show. Everything came together just beautifully, and I had a ball socialising before and after the catwalk.
The drinks reception was delightful, and I had a wonderful time speaking to friends old and new.
I simply have to give my sincerest thanks to my amazing daughter-in-law Asta Lee for bringing all the elements and moving parts of the fashion show together - it’s never a simple feat.
