Hallowed Halls of Discovery

While ordering my coffee this morning, I spotted last year’s Fashion Show director Rob Kenny who I quickly accosted. I wanted to ask him about Mary-Kate Murray, one of the models participating in the show this year. Was it true that Mary-Kate was discovered by Rob walking through the halls of DIT after a lecture?

Rob, who is acting as a mentor this year, confirmed that was exactly how he discovered Mary-Kate. “With her strong bone structure, elongated legs and long hair, she is exactly the kind of model I could imagine on a runway in Milan” stated Rob.  High praise indeed for Mary-Kate, who has never modelled before. 

Having spoken to Mary-Kate at the model’s rehearsal this week, she informed me that she is excited about the Show and naturally, looking forward to seeing the garments! Plus, she says she has met a great group of people in her fellow models. 

Mary-Kate is pictured below with another one of our models, the dashing David O’Boyle.
