Emily is Queen of Fashion at first attempt

IT was first time lucky for glamorous secondary school teacher Emily O’Keeffe, winner of the Queen of Fashion competition at Killarney Races, yesterday.

Her striking pink and fuchsia hat, with feather plume trim, caught the eye in the enclosure, in which pink was the dominant colour on Ladies’ Day.

“I’ve always nearly won things and this is a welcome change,” said an elated Emily, who lives at Lissivigeen, Killarney, with her husband, John, also a secondary teacher, and children, Laura, aged eight, and Jonathan, two and a half years.
