FitFlops

At the FitFlops launch party were: 1. Actress and DJ Hilary Rose; 2. Grasieli Craig and Glenda Gilson; 3. Isobela Miranda and Julianna Tansini; 4. Hilary Rose and Giuliano Furquim; 5. Marcia Kilgore and Maura Derrane.


Bliss Spa-entrepreneur, Marcia Kilgore, flew into Dublin recently to officially launch her stylish and revolutionary shoe, the ‘FitFlop’ at The Loft, Powerscourt Town House Centre. FitFlops, the flip flops with the gym-built-in, have an efficient dual-use – a fashionable shoe accessory and a work- out while you walk – what more could a busy woman ask for! Fitness fans and fashionistas were out in force at the event to welcome Marcia and get their hands on the most-wanted shoe this year...

Leggy Brazilian models were on hand to serve guests an array of delicious canapés and Prosecco, fashionably shod in sequinned FitFlops and hotpants, showing off their enviable legs! Some lucky guests were treated to pedicures before putting on their FitFlops for the night.

Those in attendance included beauty experts Triona McCarthy and Maura Derrane, Xposé host Glenda Gilson and top stylist Cathy O’Connor. It-girl Emily O’Donnell and socialite Grasieli Simoes of Brazil Body Sports Wear were seen enjoying the funky beats on the night provided by actress and DJ, Hilary Rose.

Since they first landed on shelves in the UK last May, FitFlops have reached iconic fashion status, as the most ‘googled’ item of the year and the fastest selling new health and wellness shoe in history! FitFlops are available from leading stockists nationwide starting from €55. New colours and styles will be added throughout the summer, so ensure you keep your eyes peeled.
