She said, “Fashion is all about inclusivity and diversity, and what better than having a partnership and collaboration with Down Syndrome Limerick. It’s going to be a wonderful affair with the Holman Lee Agency, a collaboration that’s going to be like no other.

“With afternoon Tea, Prosecco, and most of all, our wonderful ladies with Down Syndrome are going to strut their stuff along with the Holman Lee models on the catwalk, and they are going to be showing off Marian Murphy Cooney’s Autumn Winter Collection along with the most beautiful creative designs from Angela and original Ireland.”

Models from the esteemed Holman Lee Agency will bring the collections to life on the runway, adding their signature flair and professionalism to an already dazzling occasion, all while raising funds for Down Syndrome Limerick, a charity dedicated to empowering individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

This promises to be a stylish and heartfelt afternoon, an opportunity to enjoy the very best of Irish fashion, afternoon tea and all while supporting a truly meaningful cause.

Speaking about the importance of fundraisers such as this, Michelle said, “We don’t receive any government funding, but we don’t moan about it either. So we get out there and we meet and greet people and we collaborate with some amazing people. And the reality is, there are some amazing people out there, and they want to give back. But what better way than a fashion show?”
