Ireland's biggest fashion show is returning to Dublin's RDS next month to raise funds for cancer support centres.

Now in its seventh year the ARC Fashion Show will feature a mix of some of the most important names in Irish fashion, alongside emerging talent.

Supported by law firm Arthur Cox, all funds raised will go to ARC Cancer Support Centres.

The centres provide free psychological and emotional support for anyone affected by cancer.

Every year the 'ARC Angles' sequence proves to be the highlight of the night - where a group of women who have experienced breast cancer take to the runway to model a specially created capsule.

This year, Galway-based designer Niamh Daniels has been chosen to create special prints for the sequence which include a series of wraps, shawls and kimonos.

Internationally-acclaimed Irish designer Katie Ann McGuigan will close the show.

Ms McGuigan had a successful show in Paris last year and her sustainable pieces have appeared in Vogue and Love Magazine.

ARC Cancer Support Centres are delighted to announce the return of Ireland's biggest fashion show on the 19th of March at the RDS Concert hall in Dublin. It promises to a highlight of the Irish fashion calendar.

Speaking about the event, the show's producer Eddie Shanahan says: "There will be something for everyone and for any occasion at this year's ARC Fashion Show - imagination, quality innovation and brilliantly executed ideas from a truly confident cohort of Irish designers."

Mairead Mangan, head of fundraising at ARC, adds: "The ARC Fashion Show now in its seventh year continues to raise vital funds and awareness since 2014.

"With over €300,000 raised to date and with an audience of 900 people in attendance every year, it has become a firm favourite among Irish fashionistas and a must go to see fixture in calendars across Ireland.

"With the proceeds, ARC can continue to expand its free services and we were delighted to be in a position to open a new centre in the south side of Dublin last year.

"We are absolutely delighted that Arthur Cox Solicitors have decided to extend their support by becoming the official main sponsor again."

In 2018, ARC invested almost €800,000 in its work to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
