Why is Dior's upcoming fashion show in Dublin generating so much excitement?
Elaine Burke explains why Jonathan Anderson's latest Dior collection being unveiled in Trinity College's Long Room is a landmark moment for Irish fashion, and how it reflects the growing influence of Irish designers on the global stage.
The European Central Bank has unveiled 10 shortlisted designs for the next generation of euro banknotes, featuring themes including European culture and rivers and birds.
The public consultation is open until 21 September, with the winning design expected to be chosen later this year. While the new notes won't arrive immediately, the redesign marks the first major update to euro banknotes in over two decades.
Existing euro notes will remain valid and continue to circulate alongside the new series once they're introduced.
