Event summary

Highlights

Celebration of ten years of Joanne Hynes x Dunnes Stores
Retrospective of previous collections inspired by historic Irish figures

Hosted in the Atrium of Trinity College Dublin

The exhibition invites visitors to explore a decade of design history, tracing the partnership between Joanne Hynes and the Irish retailer Dunnes Stores. Named after one of Hynes's signature t-shirt slogans, the event highlights her original voice and use of utilitarian fabrics and intricate embellishments.

Attendees can view pieces from notable past collections such as “You do You” and “Fall hard for Love,” which were inspired by influential figures including Constance Markievicz and Lucia Joyce, alongside works influenced by artists Mainie Jellet and Alice Maher. The exhibition also features the “You Were Always Enough” collection, a new series of designs that harks back to the aesthetic of the designer's first AW16 presentation.
