Prada explores collaboration with Indian artisans after high-end sandal scandal
Today at 21:30
Prada is looking to collaborate with 'artisanal footwear' makers in India in a partnership, it said yesterday two weeks after the Italian luxury group triggered a controversy by debuting ethnic sandals resembling 12th-century Indian ones.
After viral photos from a Milan fashion show drew criticism from Indian artisans who make the sandals — named after the historic city of Kolhapur in Maharashtra state — Prada was forced late last month to acknowledge that its new open-toe footwear was inspired by ancient Indian designs.

Wicklow Tex-Mex restaurant celebrates fifth birthday
Our photographer Leigh Anderson was there to capture the moment as father and son, Declan and Jason McLoughlin, raised a pint in honour of Jason's grandad, Sonny, who also liked a Guinness, and after whom the American-themed restaurant was named. Sonny, who passed away in 1994, would be well chuffed. There is a mural for Sonny situated at the heart of the restaurant, which first opened its doors on Church Road, on July 4, 2020 and has now become one of the town's hottest spots. A broad menu is available for diners, including a range of burgers, Mexican food, authentic Italian wood-fired pizza, ribs and wings and the restaurant was designed to allow the front to be completely opened in the summer, letting the sunshine in and giving guests the opportunity to people-watch from inside. The venue has also become the go-to location for sport, with a fab back room for viewing games. And over the next few weeks Sonny's will be following the Lions tour each day with a special breakfast available from 11am to 1pm. All matches kick off at 11am, and doors are open at 10.30am. The following games will be screened live:
