LONDON FASHION WEEK is celebrating its 40^th anniversary and some Irish designers have been turning heads with their eye-catching looks with their Spring Summer 2025 collections.

Paul Costelloe, an Irish-American designer well-known here for his Dunnes Stores collections, turned back the clock with his 60s theme titled Le Ciel est Bleu (The Sky is Blue).
