Seven of Ireland’s leading milliners – Leonora Ferguson, Aoife Kirwan, Aoife Harrison, Wendy Louise Knight, Deb Fanning, Ailish McElroy & Emily-Jean O’Byrne - will each create ‘one of a kind’ spectacular hats. These will be presented as a special centerpiece of the show by a number of cancer survivors, affectionately known as ‘ARC Angels’, who bravely take to the stage and showcase this inspiring sequence.

The show will be staged in the Concert Hall at the RDS on a giant catwalk with a huge electronic backdrop adding to the drama of the occasion with lighting by internationally acclaimed lighting designer Kevin Saunders and special effects by Visual X.
