Passion for fashion

It's a particularly busy time for the folk at Brown Thomas

It's a particularly busy time for the folk at Brown Thomas. First of all, their brand new BT2 store opened in Grafton Street; next week they're off to Cork to open a very swish branch there and in between they managed to have an intimate fashion show of Nicole Farhi's spring/summer collection.

A number of regular customers were there including Sharon Don- nelly, Lucienne Wheeler, Geral- dine Brand and Cathy O'Connor. Lola Simpson, whose husband Bill Simpson is controller of design at BTs, came along with Deryn Mackey of Khan in Blackrock. IT magazine's fashion editor, Jo Bell, came from London along with the editor, Morag Prunty. Eva Wodiczka, who is export sales manager for Nicole Farhi in London, professed herself delighted with the show.
