Continuing the A/W presentations that are de rigueur at the moment it was refreshing to venture out of the capital for an evening. Celebrating 5 years since opening the doors of the first Divine store in Maynooth, Mary Greene hosted her Autumn Winter 10 Fashion show last night in the stunning confines of Carton House, Maynooth.

Over 300 guests were treated to a pre-show reception, kindly donated by Avenue, and then a dance performance from Lost Souls Crew choreographed by Aidean Byrne, All Ireland Hip Hop Champion from Raw Edge Crew. Guests then enjoyed the Autumn/Winter fashion catwalk collection presented by Xpose’s Lisa Cannon.

The glamorous guests on the evening included Lorraine Keane (she’ll be popping up on UK morning TV again soon), Deborah Veale, Style Wars winner David Greene, Valerie Roe and her sister Gillian Quinn. The generosity of the guests was phenomenal with the event raising almost €10,000 for resources at Kilcloon National School.
