Hat is fantastic!

DOMINO’S is celebrating the official opening of its new store in Leopardstown, famed for its horse racing festivals and Ladies' Days, with a unique fashion statement created by renowned milliner, Margaret O’Connor.

The wide brimmed, monochrome, perforated pleather hat measures 68cm in diameter and takes inspiration from the Domino’s logo as well as the traditional game of dominoes.

It was created with Audrey Hepburn and Constance Markievicz in mind, while focussing on quality and innovation.

The head piece is to be donated for auction to Domino’s charity partner, Barretstown where it is expected to raise in excess of €1,200, at their 25th Anniversary Gala Ball.

Ahead of the charity contribution, Domino’s Ambassador for Barretstown and actress and model, Michele McGrath (pictured, right) wore the hat at a fashion shoot with high profile photographer, Evan Doherty.

Commenting on the donation, Dee Ahearn, Barretstown CEO said: “We are so grateful to Domino’s for the donation of this unique head piece from Margaret O’Connor.

“I am sure our supporters will love it and we hope it raises a significant amount at our 25th Anniversary Gala Ball.

“The donations from Pennies, the online charity box on Dominos.ie, and the Domino’s Amazing Race for Barretstown are incredibly beneficial.

Paul Dupuy, Ireland Marketing Manager for Domino’s, added: “There’s a fantastic sense of community here and the locals really celebrate Ladies Day at the races. It’s great to work with home-grown talent to create something unique that will benefit our charity.”
