The Specsavers 'Spectacle Wearer of the Year' 2011 Competition

Grace Healy (above) was recently named Ireland’s 'Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2011'

Grace Healy from Co. Mayo was crowned as Ireland’s Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2011, as the country’s top specs-wearing style-setter finalists went head to head for the coveted title in a fashion event at the RHA Gallery in Dublin on Wednesday the 31st August. MC on the night, TV presenter Lisa Cannon, was on hand to introduce each of the finalists to the panel of judges as they took to the catwalk. The evening was a glamorous affair with all fashion provided by Dundrum Town Centre and make up by Zoe Clarke School of Make Up. Judges making the all-important decisions included fashion photographer Lili Forberg, Irish Independent Fashion Editor Bairbre Power, Assets Model Agency representative Derek Daniels and Specsavers’ very own Sinead Clohessy.

Winner Grace received one year’s representation with Assets Model Agency, a make-up master class with top make-up artist Zoe Clarke, a fashion portfolio shoot with Ireland’s top photographer Lili Forberg and a €215 Specsavers eyecare voucher. As if that’s not enough, the spectacular winner will now also go on to appear at the International Grand Final. Specsavers style ambassador Gok Wan will present the awards at the star-studded grand final, taking place on Tuesday 15 November 2011 at London’s iconic Battersea Power Station.
