Style Secrets

The name ‘Lisa Fitzpatrick’ has long been synonymous with style and fashion in Ireland (she won the VIP Most Stylish award in 2007). As an authority on style it was about time that she put her thoughts, hints and tips into book form for those in need of a fix.

Showing their support for the popular author was her friend and Ireland AM colleague Alan Hughes, Aoife Cogan and Brian Dowling, who this week began his new role as Katherine Lynch’s sidekick in her new RTE show Wagon’s Den. Other familiar faces from the fashion world included Andrea Roche, Pippa O’Connor, Virginia Macari and Ian Galvin.

No slave to fashion, Lisa has thoughtfully entitled the book "Enjoying Style and Fashion" (in all good bookshops now!) and she hosted an exclusive party at The Morgan hotel, Dublin for the launch. The event was the culmination of a very busy year for the wife and mum of two as she balanced her work commitments with running a home AND writing the book. Maybe her next one should be on time management.
