KERRY Fashion Week kicked off in spectacular style on Wednesday night, as over 140 ladies enjoyed the Kellihers Toyota Kerry Boutique & Designer Show at the Pavilion at Ballygarry House Hotel.
MC’d by TraleeToday.ie columnist, Orlagh Winters, models from Upfront Model Management displayed new Spring / Summer collections from Kerry’s top boutiques and designers.
The evening also featured the announcement of the Kellihers Toyota Most Stylish Woman in Kerry 2016 and it was a Tralee woman living in Dublin who won the award.
Aideen Feely, who works at Stellar Magazine and as a fashion blogger, looked every inch the part on the night and was delighted with the accolade.
The Lancome Paris Best Dressed Lady award was also announced and went to Helen Twomey.
