Follow the fashion trail in Athlone

Join Ireland’s top bloggers at Athlone’s free inaugural fashion trail this Saturday, October 1 in association with Colm Quinn BMW.

The event will comprise a day of runway style shows hosted by local retailers showcasing the latest style from their A/W collections.

From daywear to dancing shoes, you will be treated to a unique style experience which is guaranteed to ignite your passion for fashion.

Athlone’s leading retailers will be hosting free pop-up fashion shows throughout the day with a variety of on-trend style showcases and advice for a brand new seasonal wardrobe. From mother-of-the-bride inspiration to cosy winter warmers, you will get your fashion fix at the Athlone Fashion Trail.

Many retailers will be featuring the work of local designers including Helen Conneely in their shows with dazzling window displays ensuring a truly unique fashion experience. The event will be as social as it will be eye catching with morning coffees, afternoon teas and perhaps a glass of bubbly along the way.

The leading ladies from Catwalk Modelling Agency will be in the capable hands of award-winning hair stylist Maeve O’Healy-Harte with Aileen Duffy looking after makeup on the day.
