“We have an abundance of fantastic boutiques and shops across County Limerick and what better place to showcase Limerick style than the stunning surrounds of Adare Manor. All our visiting fashion press waxed lyrical about their time in Limerick and the exposure that Limerick receives as a result of events like this is invaluable. A similar event focusing on Limerick city stores took place earlier in the year with a hugely positive reaction and we’re looking forward to planning more #LimerickTagged events for 2018.”

Celia Holman Lee said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to all our guests, sponsors, Adare Manor, Hugh Campbell Hair Group, FMN Make-up, The Woodlands Hotel, the production team from Holman Lee Agency and Limerick City and County Council. We had a fantastic day showcasing the beautiful and unique style from County Limerick and I’m thrilled we were trending number one on social media. Our whole aim was to promote ourselves together and showcase our county and I’m really proud of everyone who supported our efforts.”
