Faith Amond, a renowned fashionista from Carlow, has finally clinched a significant win at the Punchestown Festival 2023, securing the third Best Dressed title. Amond graced the event wearing a cream coat from Safiyaa, tinted with a cream bow from Emporium Kalu’s Catarzi hat. To complete her ensemble, she added a silk cami from Aria Boutique in Naas, a Gallery 9 bag, and classic cream court heels from Tiffany Kilkenny. Referring to her sustainable style triumph, Amond stated that she wore her coat six years ago and that the only difference was the addition of the bow. Other finalists who put up a good show include Sandy Brennan, David Casey, Irene Hoare, and Brady Action. Winners and finalists of the fashion contest received deluxe goodie bags comprising products from Ayu Cosmetics, a Sinead Keary The Label hair bow, Dylan Oaks earrings, a Bollinger Champagne candle, Bollinger cufflinks, and a bottle of Bollinger Special Cuvée. With Amond and other finalists such as Leitrim fashionista Nomi Brennan and Dublin CEO Michael Walsh competing in the grand finale on the last day of the festival, the winner will take home a ‘money can’t buy’ trip to visit the Bollinger estate, along with a year’s supply of Bollinger. The judging panel comprised of Marietta Doran, Jess Colivet, Roxanne Parker, and Michelle O’Sullivan.
