My Lovely Horse Rescue is hosting a charity fashion show with several well known faces.
The fashion show will focus on sustainable items and is set to take place in Naas on Saturday May 27. There will be live entertainment available on the night, with comedian Enya Martin providing lots of laughs at the event.
There is also an impressive raffle worth €7000 taking place at the night. Orla Donohoe from My Lovely Horse Rescue explained that the event will raise well needed funds for abandoned animals at their base.

Orla told Dublin Live: "We only have a certain amount of space for animals. There are 800 animals under our care and if we have the support of the public, we can do so much more for them."
The charity is Ireland's largest horse rescue but also accommodates other animals. The charity has 160 pigs on site and has recently built dog kennels to help deal with the crisis surrounding abandoned dogs.
My Lovely Horse wants to make animal welfare a more pressing issue in Garda stations nationwide. The charity raises awareness of animal cruelty in Ireland and highlights individual cases of neglect on its social media platforms.
Orla added: "Ireland is going through a horrendous dog crisis. We're technically not a dog rescue but we're trying our best to help- we are constantly on the look out for fosterers to help in this regard."
The DSPCA has also recently called on the public to consider fostering animals as their animal base remains at capacity. Orla is encouraging people to attend their upcoming event and ultimately help their charity support animals in need.
A range of small Irish businesses will take part in the show, including Leopardstown based fashion outlet Happy Days. They are also sponsored by cruelty-free make-up brand Inglot Cosmetics.
The show will take place on May 27 in the Osprey Hotel in Naas. Tickets cost €25 and can be bought via My Lovely Horse's website.
