On 17th October 2011, Hennessy celebrated the launch of the Hennessy Best Dressed Lady in association with Design Centre, which takes place at the Hennessy Gold Cup on Sunday, 12th February 2012 at Leopardstown Racecourse. To mark the launch, Hennessy and Design Centre hosted a special Salon Fashion Show at The French Ambassador’s Residence in Dublin, showcasing key winter racing looks for the Autumn/Winter season with hair and make-up looks created by Dylan Bradshaw. At the launch, Hennessy also unveiled the judge who will be charged with selecting the winner of the Hennessy Best Dressed Lady 2012 as International Fashion Commentator, Godfrey Deeny. Currently based in Paris, Godfrey flew in especially to attend yesterday evening’s launch event. Originally from Northern Ireland, Godfrey Deeny is an international fashion critic and editor who has covered the runway shows of London, Milan, Paris and New York for over a decade.

The Hennessy Gold Cup marks one of the most stylish winter racing events in the Irish social calendar and each year the Hennessy Best Dressed Lady in association with Design Centre draws Ireland’s fashion elite to compete for one of the most prestigious style competitions. The stakes are high with this year’s winner set to receive a voucher for €7,000 to spend on the wide selection of designer clothes that Design Centre, situated in the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, Dublin has to offer.
