Pat Walker, model and assistant event producer for Cork Fashion Week said: “These two girls have changed the face of fashion in Cork for the better providing opportunities for everyone from makeup artists to hairstylists and designers to boutiques to name but a few. They have linked businesses throughout the city and county and put Cork on the map nationally and internationally as a now highly regarded fashion city.”

Deputy Lord Mayor Mick Nugent  said Cork was fortunate to have such hard working young entrepreneurs working to grow the fashion industry in Cork and put it on the map.
