Pre Races Fashion Show
The scene was set for the first Pre Races Fashion Event at the Oranmore Lodge Hotel on a glorious Sunday afternoon. With lots of bubbly, racing fashion and millinery it was the place to be to get your race style tips for The Galway Races. Ladies day at the Galway Races is the largest ladies day in Ireland so we need to plan in good time for our outfits and hats!!. The event was in aid of Oranmore Maree Coastal Search Unit.
Special guest for the afternoon of fashion, hats and fun was Faith Amond. I've known Faith for a number of years, designing hats for her and she always looks effortlessly elegant at any race meeting. I was delighted when Faith scooped the prestigious best dressed prize at Aintree last month walking away with a stunning Land Rover!!
Such a fashion event wouldn't be complete without Mandy Maher Catwalk Modelling Agency /TV3 Stylist who was our MC for the day. Here she is looking radiant in royal blue from Olivia Danielle Athlone.
This year I am busy designing hats for Ascot and already processing orders for the Galway Races which is great. Designing the correct angle, shape and look for a client is key to the overall look. I love creating new designs and styling your complete look at my Suzie Mahony Designs studio.
All our models for the day are from Catwalk Modelling Agency, Fashion below from Olivia Danielle with hats from Suzie Mahony Designs.
Jumpsuit
Jumpsuits are now added to the 'allowed list' at Ascot this year for the first time. They are so comfortable and can look very classy. This pale blue and ivory lace jumpsuit below is teamed with Suzie Mahony Designs ivory hat trimmed with pearls and beading. A very simple elegant look. I love the little sleeve as well.
The dress and coat combo will never go out of fashion. This red print stands out and with a block colour red hat or headpiece you can't go wrong.
Neutrals
Focusing on neutral tones, a dress and coat outfit teamed with ivory headpiece but it is embellished with metallic silks and beading.
Every lady should have a black and white look in her wardrobe. If your heading to the races this suit is perfect. Beautiful texture. Pop a black and white hat with it to bring out the detail in the suit or even go all out with a striking black piece. Either would look fab here.
Colour!
I love this colour, rich turquoise but with just enough pink in my hat design to give the whole look a beautiful finish Again lovely textures in the quality clothing and the hat shape works well here giving the whole look a real classy edge.
Thank you for reading my blog.
