A busy week! Upfront event managed the House of Delphine Salon Showing in the Berkeley Court Hotel on Thursday evening.

Louise James and Orla Diffily were on hand to assist Delphine and her mom Christine - the creative forces behind the award winning house of Delphine.

Guests included many well known faces from the world of fashion and celebrity; customers and the media. The House of Delphine won the prestigious Kerry Fashion Designer of the Year Award in 2009 and has twice won Irish Brides Designer of the year. For more information visit www.houseofdelphine.com

The little black dress (lbd), made famous by Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn and countless other women through the decades, is always in fashion. This is good news for fashionistas - especially in recession, as one beautifully made LBD, designed completely to flatter a woman’s personal shape, is the investment purchase of our time. Every woman should have one . . . and the House of Delphine revealed an extensive selection of designs to suit all ages and flatter the female form in every shape and size. Overall, her LBD collection has a strong sixties vibe. Many of the elements that have made her award winning bridal designs so popular are incorporated into the collection . . . such as the seductive lace back, cinched waist and vintage undertones.

Operating from her studio in Kerry, and by monthly private appointment in Dublin, Delphine uses only the finest fabrics in her creations all personally sourced in Paris. Her LBD’s cost approximately €1,000, which by couture design standards is exceptional value.


Here are just some pix from the evening . . . for more check out the papers!!!!
