Cavan woman wins 'Most Stylish' at Galway Races

Eimear Mahon from Ballyhaise was named winner of ‘Friday’s Most Stylish’, sponsored by Athlone Towncentre ,at the Galway Races.

Wearing a spotted structured skirt suit from Rocio from her own clothing and headpiece rental business completelook.ie ,Eimear elevated her look with gold shoes from Penneys, a handbag from Next and earrings from H&M.

She completed her race going outfit with a cream boater hat designed and made by Millinery by Mairead who is based in Northern Ireland.

One of the key reasons Eimear was chosen as winner of Athlone Towncentre ‘Friday’s Most Stylish’ was due to the way she created a wholly individual look incorporating pieces from high street stores and independent designers which are reflective of the variety of retailers housed in Athlone Towncentre.

Eimear takes home the biggest Prize Fund on offer for the competition yet, which is worth in excess of €4000.

She has won a €2000 Athlone Towncentre Gift Card, a luxury two night break in the four star Sheraton Athlone Hotel in a Deluxe Tower Room with dinner & spa treatments and an exquisite white gold diamond pendant courtesy of Fields The Jewellers, who are one of the many retailers located in Athlone Towncentre.

Celebrity Judges Louise Cantillon, TV & Radio Broadcaster and Marietta Doran, Fashion Stylist & Racing Style Presenter were joined by Shirley Delahunt, Manager of Athlone Towncentre.

With the competition in its twelfth year, the spotlight has been on fashion forward style mirrored by the contemporary retailers resident in Athlone Towncentre.

“I was absolutely delighted to have been chosen as the winner this evening. I first saw this outfit on a Spanish website," Eimear said. "I thought it was very quirky & fun yet had the relaxed feel racing in Galway on a Friday always has. My rental business completelook.ie is only up and running in the last seven weeks. I wanted somewhere women could see full outfits together from headpieces to dresses that work as complete looks. It is a one stop shop for womens event wear. This win is extra special as I met my husband at the Galway Races seven years ago. We now have a gorgeous fourteen month old boy Frankie who I am looking forward to going back to in Dublin where we now live after the wonderful excitement of today!”
