The Mid-West is bracing itself for the biggest fashion event of the year next month! Ennis Fashion Fortnight takes place from 9th- 22nd October and is set to be bigger and better then ever before.

The town of Ennis, known as “The Boutique Capital of Ireland”, will bring its wide range of unique retailers together for a series of special events and in-store promotions for customers. Some of these events include The Ennis Fashion Award for the most stylish woman in Ennis, a Supper Fashion Movie “Valentino – The Last Emperor” In conjunction with Cahercalla Hospice, a fashion show featuring Ennis’s A/W collection featuring guest designer Eilis Boyle and Amber Jean Rowan of RTE’s “The Model Agent” and “A Real Clothes for Real People Fashion Show” for women and men of all shapes and sizes.

Speaking about the upcoming event, Renowned Retail and Fashion consultant, Eddie Shanahan said:

“I’m delighted to be involved in this fantastic initiative. I held a seminar in the summer for the retailers of Ennis and the outcome was to create a fortnight of fashion as previously it had been a seven day festival and we wanted to give people time to go to all the events and really get involved. I also wanted to bring this festival onto the next level by improving its external communications and expand into the wider community.”

A number of public and private enterprises have organised tailored fringe events to co-inside with this festival of fashion, including a fashion lecture, photography exhibitions and health talks for the whole town to enjoy.
