The Irish knitwear, tweed and linen pieces we’re eyeing up for winter
Jonathan Anderson’s first womenswear collection for Dior is bound to have Irish references, while many other Irish designers are producing covetable winter coats, jumpers and dresses
“There are decades when nothing happens and there are weeks when decades happen”: Vladimir Lenin’s quote comes to mind regarding the state of Irish fashion and the energy coming from all directions at home and abroad.
Here it is noticeable in the latest collections from the 68 designers in the Council of Irish Fashion Designers (CIFD), who have produced some of the most diverse and easy-to-wear winter collections, many in Irish tweeds and linens from Magee, Molloy & Sons and John Hanly.
Elsewhere it is evident in lovely collections of knitwear from Sphere One, IrelandsEye, Inis Meain, Ekotree, Ros Duke, Urban Aran and Laura Chambers (the latter two in CIFD), proving that Ireland is at its strongest when it comes to tweed, knitwear and storytelling.
Sphere One’s collection Dark Romance, for example, was inspired by Victorian mourning attire and comes in muted colours with evocative details that include hand-ruched silk tulle, black rose corsage and pearls.
