Bridgewater FASHION SHOW 2025

On 10th of October we hosted a Fashion show in aid of Arklow Cancer Support and Breast Cancer Ireland.

Building on the success of last year’s event, the fundraiser once again drew a large crowd for an evening of fashion, inspiration and local pride. In a powerful show of resilience, half of the models who took to the runway were cancer survivors themselves, making the night especially poignant.

Guests enjoyed a lively panel discussion, a bumper raffle and plenty of refreshments throughout the evening. The panel featured Mary O’Brien and Melinda Lambert representing Arklow Cancer Support, Jennifer Maher; Life & Executive emotional intelligence coach & TedX speaker; Aoife Horgan; Coach and communication professional, Shannon Dillon of SA Artistry, Martha Lovett Cullen; Breast density activist and campaigner, and founder of Elderberry Farm; Gráinne Kenneally Quirke.

The show was hosted by Rachel Tyrrell of The Colour Club, who guided the evening with warmth, charm and enthusiasm.

All proceeds from the event will go directly to Arklow Cancer Support and Breast Cancer Ireland, helping to fund vital support services, education and awareness initiatives for those affected by cancer.

Bridgewater Shopping Centre management extended a huge thank you to everyone involved in making the night such a success, noting that the strong turnout once again highlighted the generosity and community spirit for which Arklow is known.
