The new faces of
Inishowen
21.10.08
Flanagan and O’Sullivan
crowned at iCARE Fashion Show
DAWN Flanagan and Stephen O’Sullivan were crowned as
the ‘Faces of Inishowen’ at last Wednesday’s iCARE
Fashion Show in the Inishowen Gateway Hotel. The
Buncrana duo beat of stiff competition from almost
100 entrants to the competition that was run by this
newspaper in conjunction with iCARE and the Converse
Modelling Agency in Derry. The pair have secured a
year-long modelling contract with Converse, a
professional photo shoot and individual hotel
breaks. |
Now in its second year,
the iCARE Fashion Show was a tremendous success with
organisers describing it as bigger, better and
bolder than 2007. Hundreds of fashionistas attended
the sold out event to see the latest autumn-winter
fashions from a host of outlets including Barr’s
Fashions, Chic, Identity, Dunnes Stores, Penney’s
and Benetton.
“Arranging the project has been an exhilarating
experience, and we |
 |
we were determined to
make it a night to remember for all,” said Liam Gill
of iCARE who paid tribute to the organising
committee, sponsors, models, hairdressers, ticket
outlets and patrons.
DJ Keith Fletcher was compere on the night while
entertainment was provided by Noella Hutton and the
children of Studio 47.
Louise McCloskey, sales manager of the Inishowen
Independent and a judge for the Face of Inishowen,
described it as a tremendous show. “It was a great
night and the hairstyles and fashion on display were
spectacular,” she said. “It was tremendous to see
such support for iCARE. The organisers felt they
could have sold out the venue twice over and it was
really cool to see local people strut their stuff on
the catwalk.”
The busy parents at iCARE are already up to their
eyes in their next project and have just released
their 2009 calendar. The calendar was designed by
the iCARE children and will be on sale all across in
various outlets across Inishowen in the coming
weeks.
