Ireland’s top stars align for Designer Fashion Showcase
Some of Ireland’s top designers, a world-renowned host, a superb line-up of celebrity guests and a state-of-the-art production – sounds like all the makings of the fashion event of 2025 in Kerry this April!
Cancer support charity Recovery Haven Kerry has once again teamed up with the renowned Norma O’Donoghue Model Agency for their second annual Designer Fashion Showcase at the Gleneagle INEC Arena on Thursday, April 3rd and are pulling out all the stops to make this one even better than last time.
Producer Norma has secured renowned designers such as Synan O’Mahony, Catriona Hanly, Marion Murphy Cooney, Claire Garvey, Cathy Troth and Tina Griffin among others to add the glitz and glamour of the night, while the show will also feature a number of top boutiques including MacBees, Scarlett, Hannons, Pheonix V and Lily Mais.
Celebrity designer to the stars, Don O’Neill, will host this year’s event, and in a slight change from 2024, organisers will combine the fashion element of the show with a wellbeing/wellness theme, where Don will host a very special fireside chat with some incredible guests, including top professional model Thalia Heffernan, three-time Olympian and health and fitness expert, Derval O’Rourke and leadership coach and former Network Ireland Kerry President, Linda O’Mahony Logan.
And if that wasn’t enough, organisers are thrilled to confirm that online sensations Tadhg & Derry Fleming and fashion influencer Helen Murphy (@daily_divadiary) have also come on board to judge the best dressed lady on the night, with some stunning prizes up for grabs for both winners.
Kicking off with a drinks reception at 7pm, with the show at 8pm sharp, other highlights of the evening will include a special pre-show performance by Jack Patrick Healy; a bumper raffle with some incredible prizes, and an after-party at the Gleneagle’s Backstage Bar.
Recovery Haven Kerry PR & Marketing Officer, Marisa Reidy, said that there is a real sense of excitement surrounding this year’s event, and everyone involved is really looking forward to an even bigger and better event than last year.
“We were genuinely blown away by the success of last year’s event, with over 1,200 guests in attendance, all of whom seemed to absolutely love the show. But there is a universal feeling among all of us behind the scenes that this one is going to be even better, if that’s possible” she said.
“We are so grateful to everyone who has been so busy planning this event, from the amazing team at the INEC, to producer Norma, to our fabulous host Don, to our own team here Recovery Haven, all of whom are working round the clock to ensure this event is one to remember. We have been overwhelmed by the goodwill and enthusiasm of everyone, including our amazing sponsors and our special guests who are so excited to be involved – so we genuinely cannot wait for the night brings. It is going to be very special.”
