Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

Paul Costelloe looks to equestrian world in London Fashion Week show
LONDON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Irish designer Paul Costelloe drew inspiration from the equestrian world for his latest collection at London Fashion Week on Friday, showing jodhpur-shaped culottes, tweeds and prints featuring show jumpers. Costelloe's autumn-winter 2025 line included dressage-like fitted jackets and structured skirts and shorts, sometimes paired with caps and boots. Models also wore feminine coats and voluminous dresses. "The theme is ... showing my vintage, dating back to when I launched a collection called 'Dressage', so it's quite equestrian," Costelloe, 79, told Reuters. "It's got lovely tweeds ... but we've made it a little more raunchy maybe." Costelloe chose autumnal hues for his colour palette - brown, amber and red - as well as cream and black. His outfits bore check as well as floral patterns. Running February 20-24, London is the second leg of the autumn-winter 2025 catwalk calendar, which began in New York and will then go to Milan and Paris. On the programme are emerging designers as well as more established brands including Burberry, Erdem and Roksanda. London is known for its fashion schools and for nurturing talent that has gone on to work at some of the world's biggest luxury labels. In a bid to provide commercial support for designers, there will be a fashion week pop-up shop on Regent Street in central London. "It is a particularly challenging time at the moment, in the UK ... because we are still focusing really on sort of overcoming the trade barriers of being out of the EU," Caroline Rush, outgoing CEO of the British Fashion Council, told Reuters. "The shop is really an opportunity to showcase the brilliant designers that we have," she added.
