Celia Holman Lee: Limerick ladies ‘best for style’

Limerick women make great models due to their beauty and are far more stylish than women from Dublin or Cork, fashion queen Celia Holman Lee has said.

Presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award yesterday at the 2013 Limerick Person of the Year awards for her work to promote Limerick fashion, Ms Holman Lee said: “I would say Limerick women are extremely glamorous. Whether they are more stylish than Dublin women or Cork women? My opinion is yes, we are.”

Ms Holman Lee, who started out as a model over 45 years ago, said: “I think JFK got it right on his visit here in 1963, when he referred to the beauty of Limerick women.”
