Suspiria at the Lighthouse Cinema
While Luca Guadagnino’s remake may have somewhat polarised its earliest spectators, the original Suspiria – Dario Argento’s 1977 opus – is a cult classic amongst horror-film aficionados and fashion designers alike.
Grab a ticket for the 25th October screening and bask in the same staggeringly-vibrant scenes that have influenced Rodarte and Louis Vuitton. 8:30pm.

Elegantly holding court as one of the Creative Quarter’s most treasured establishments, this independent boutique curates an eclectic display of luxury labels; valuing fashionable investments over ephemeral fads. Print hunters will fawn over the Saloni frocks, whilst even the most monochromatic of dressers will succumb to Helen Steele’s wearable-art wares. www.costumedublin.ie @costumedublin
Imagining France – Roderick O’Conor and the Moderns
The National Gallery of Ireland’s headlining exhibition – running until 28th October, with colour schemes that double as clothing inspiration – has been taken on by two stylish commentators: Tropical Popical founder Andrea Horan and fashion-writer wunderkind Paul McLauchlan. Joining forces for a conversational, fashion-flavoured podcast, the multi-hued paintings of O’Conor and his Modernist contemporaries are traced, with plenty of memorable quotes along the way. Horan’s reference to fashion watchdogs Diet Prada is a personal favourite.
