A glimpse of Summer
There is a cruel irony in hosting a Spring Summer fashion show on the coldest day of the year. It was freezing yesterday - and snowing! Can you imagine our surprise then when we entered the BT2 SS05 show and were handed a goodie bag in the form of a bucket and spade?! Our front row seats were actually candy striped folding deck chairs. We sipped delicious Bombay Sapphire summer cocktails and perused the latest Nokia handsets. Some people were eating ice-cream, though I'd had my fill of ice-cold earlier in the day.
The style on offer was top notch, as can only be expected from BT2, one of Ireland's premiere fashion stores. Outfits from labels such as Energie, Pringle, Diesel, Tommy Hilfiger Jeans, Dolce e Gabbana and Ralph Lauren warmed the cockles of my heart. Pink, baby blue, yellow and orange are in people. And glitz and glam too.
Among the fashionista crew in situ were DJs Hugh Scully and Shay Hannon, publicist Cathy Reynolds (daughter of former Taoiseach, Albert), singer Ann Harrington, who was recently voted out of TV show You're A Star and celebrity stylist Michael Leong. The after-party continued on at Traffic on Middle Abbey Street.
Speaking of Michael Leong, who is Samantha Mumba's hairstylist, reminds me of a snippet of info I read over at Page SixSixSix. According to Perez Hilton our Samantha is with child.
We haven't seen much of her around town lately, and at the weekend there were press reports that she had split up with Sisquo. Stay tuned.
