Brown Thomas Fashion Show Luncheon 2022
Once again, famous Irish faces came out in force to show their support for the 20th annual ISPCC Brown Thomas fashion show.
The glittering event, which took place on September 2nd, played host to a huge gathering of Irish celebrities and fashion enthusiasts, all keen to show their appreciation for the work done by ISPCC Childline.
Broadcaster Louise Duffy was MC for the day and guests included Pippa O’Connor, Roz Purcell, Doireann Garrihy, Kathryn Thomas, Lyra, Andrea Corr, Ali Hewson, Celia Holman-Lee and Sophie Alderton.
Festivities commenced with a champagne reception and an istil38 vodka reception. Guests were given a chance to mingle and purchase raffle tickets for highly sought-after prizes including luxury staycations, Gucci accessories, a Chanel bag and tickets to see Harry Styles sold-out gig in Slane.
Following a delicious four-course lunch, and a spectacular performance by Saint Sister, the main event began – a live runway show featuring must-have pieces and exciting looks for the season ahead.
Hosted in the exclusive surrounds of the InterContinental Hotel, the Brown Thomas ISPCC Fashion Lunch is one of the most anticipated events in the Irish fashion calendar and raised over €100,000 for ISPCC.
RTE 2FM Xmas Ball
