Dublin Fashion Week: Dublin Fashion Week ended on a high note yesterday with two public catwalk shows at the Mansion House, one by Irish designer Joanne Hynes at lunchtime and the other by internationally known British designer Matthew Williamson, in Ireland for the first time, showing his spring collection at a gala event last night.Modelling at his show was 16-year-old Laragh McCann from Killiney, already making a name for herself on the catwalks of New York and Paris. Followers of Williamson and his vibrant beaded and patterned silks were out in force last night for a rare opportunity to see the designer's full collection on the catwalk.The show, with its sassy silk shorts, lotus print dresses, beaded tunics and sequin studded T-shirts had the carefree sexy air that make his clothes such favourites of the celebrity and party set.[/FONT]
