Ripples of excitement ran through the Lockdown camp today when the gorgeous Faye Dinsmore announced on her site for the Irish Fashion Awards that our little Cork based agency with a big heart has won the Peoples Choice Award for ‘Most Influential Model Agency in Ireland’.
Our young directors Emer O’Sullivan & Vivienne Kelly, have worked multiple jobs and made many sacrifices behind the scenes over the past 5 years to slowly build a reputable agency that would raise the standard of models here. Lockdown’s leading ladies today thanked their team of models, staff and clients for the votes & support over the past 5 years. ’We are over the moon with today’s news, we can’t thank everyone enough for putting us up there with the best in the country, it’s such an honour & we really look forward to flying the Lockdown flag at the Mansion House in 2weeks time’ said Vivienne. ’We have always surrounded ourselves with models & staff that are as positive and hard working as we are and I think our clients have solid faith in our future vision & services as a result’ said Emer. Thanks to their hard work & foward vision, many of the faces on Lockdown’s books have had the opportunity to model abroad, not to mention all the business and prosperity they have brought to Munster through their spectacular Cork Fashion Week which this year, celebrates it’s third year. Cork Fashion Week, the brainchild of Emer & Vivienne, has provided a huge professional platform for many homegrown fashion designers, design students, makeup artists, stylists, hair stylists, bloggers etc. and has attracted a national following to Cork for the annual shows each year.
