One of the county's leading fashion designers, with over 15 years experience creating highly-acclaimed garments, is now bringing her expertise to the womenfolk of the county through a series of workshops celebrating all aspects of style.

Caroline Leahy, Causeway's well known crochet artist who is long renowned for her stunning knitwear creations, is now adapting her talents to encompass even greater reaches in the world of fashion and her new workshop series will offer all comers the comprehensive benefit of her experience.

Her Image Consultancy business sees Ms Leahy taking women through all points on the fashion spectrum - make-up, skincare, personal colour critiques and the nature of the body's shape (ie what suits it and what doesn't suit it). It's like Trinny and Susannah up close and personal and already scores of Kerry women are benefiting no end from her guidance.

"As I always say, looking good makes you feel good and if you feel good then do it"!, Ms Leahy said. "I decided to branch out into image consultancy earlier in the year and it's going great at the moment. I think through my 15 years of fashion design I've learned an enormous amount about body shape, an individual's varying colour requirements and much else too and I'm really enjoying applying it all now in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.  All who've attended the workshops have thoroughly enjoyed it too" she said.
