Shoulder pads, bold colour and a new generation of Irish designers

Writer Robert O'Byrne, The Irish Aesthete, sits down with designer John Rocha to talk about what Ireland wore in the 1980s, who was making it and how a country short on money still found its style.

Inspired by our exhibition at the National Photographic Archive, Temple Bar, marking 40 years since Live Aid, Ireland in the 80s: The Full Picture takes a fresh look at the decade.

Free, booking required.
