Glamour Kidd has designs on fashion event

Sunday November 08 2009

International supermodel Jodie Kidd will be jetting into Ireland for the inaugural RTE Off the Rails Fashion Awards in the RDS on Friday, November 13.

The stunning blonde will add a touch of glamour to the proceedings when she presents the coveted Best Fashion Designer Award. Jodie was drafted in at the last moment after Jerry Hall -- former wife of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger -- had to pull out due to exhaustion.

The shortlist for the Best Designer Award includes: John Rocha, Joanne Hynes, Tim Ryan, Pauric Sweeney and Sharon Wauchob.

Other award categories include Best Stylist, Best Photographer, Best Hair Stylist, Best Make Up Artist and Best Dressed Male and Female Personalities.

The theatrical catwalk fashion show will feature the best of the high street and designer collections presented by Brendan Courtney and Sonya Lennon. Visitors can then shop in the exhibition area, which will feature all of the show's trends with discounts.

Stop by the Bubble Bar, be transported to relaxation and grooming in the Pamper Zone, perfect Christmas party looks or delve into some Christmas shopping at this one-stop-shop for all things fashion and style related.

Innovations this year include The Information Hub and The Expert Stage where Rimmel will showcase the latest beauty trends, Peter Mark will make over members of the audience and Debenhams will showcase Christmas party looks. There will also be the opportunity to meet Brendan and Sonya and see them bring the TV show to life on the Expert Stage.

RTE Off the Rails -- The Total Experience takes place from Friday to Sunday, November 13 to 15 November 2009. Tickets are available from www.ticketmaster.ie and at the door.
