Not only does the autumn season announce a whole new way of dressing up, it also brings a host of new collections from some of our best-loved Irish designers.
Take, for instance, the latest drop from Smithfield-based designer Jennifer Slattery, in which the Maud oversized linen blouse in vintage cream is the right side of bohemian.
We’re also coveting smart, elevated staples to wear this season. Firstly, the Colleen herringbone blazer by fifth-generation Donegal hand-weavers Triona, with its oversized fit, feels firmly of the moment. Secondly, the dream combination of an Aran knit, fashioned from decadent cashmere, comes care of the Róisín cardigan by cashmere specialists Madigan: the zenith of luxury. Meanwhile, accessories are coming in hot. Think: gorgeous burgundy leather hobo bags by Peelo that have just the right amount of slouch, refined and ladylike suede kitten heels by Nicki Hoyne that come replete with an oversized bow, and the recently launched Diamond fine jewellery collection from Powerscourt-based Momuse; marking the brand’s fifteenth year in business.
