Ruby Rouge Fashion Show

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Jane

We were very excited and honoured to be a part of the stylish Ruby Rouge Fashion Show in the beautiful Marlfield House in Gorey. We painted a custom fashion portrait of Ruby for her 5th birthday celebrations!! This was then used for the Fashion Show Programme.

The portrait of Ruby was based on the style of their brand new shop – pastel colours and multiple patterns used throughout. We are in love with this shop – talk about girlie heaven!!! impossible not to find that perfect outfit…

The fashion show itself was the perfect night out with the gals!!! The style of the audience was as good as that of the models! The wine and chat were flowing so we think we’ll be making this a regular Pretty as a Picture night out!! Check out some of the style below…
