The second and much anticipated Glamour in Galway event took place last Sunday in the Salthill Hotel where a whopping 1000 guests turned up to check out the all day fashion, styling and beauty event.
Guests were greeted with a complimentary goody bag as they entered the main hall before browsing through the scores of exhibition stands with an abundance beauty and fashion discounts and freebies on offer throughout the day before enjoying three fashion shows from Athlone Town Centre, Brown Thomas and various local boutiques.
Four ladies who enjoyed the day the most were the makeover winners who spent the day being pampered and pruned by the Glam Squad. The deserving candidates were styled by Brendan Courtney of RTE’s ‘Off the Rails’, received an amazing hair restyle from world champion hairdresser, Mary Kennedy from MOHH and discovered the beauty secrets of the stars with help from one of Ireland’s top makeup artists, Derrick Carberry – with the Glam Squad giving guests some valuable style tips for the winter season ahead.
Event organiser Mandy Maher of the Catwalk Modelling Agency was thrilled with how the event went, “Glamour in Galway was a huge success. We had over 1000 ladies and a few gents through the doors taking in all the style at the fashion shows, picking up great bargains at the exhibition stands and enjoying the delicious cocktails prepared by the Salthill Hotel. Everyone loved the day and we can’t wait for the next Glamour in Galway”. Both Mandy Maher and Ger O Connor of the Catwalk Modelling Agency would like to thank all those who attended and exhibited at this year’s event along with all the staff of the Salthill Hotel, Bellissimo and the School of Makeup Artistry who styled the models for each fashion show and event sponsors – the Galway Independent, IMAGE Magazine, iRadio, Freelance Media IT and MBPR.
