Robyn Lynch returns to Brown Thomas for collection launch
The launch is accompanied by a new in-store installation that 'extends her raw, process-led approach to design and presentation'.
This season, Lynch 'revisits and reimagines foundational pieces through her distinctly Irish lens' with garments 'build on familiar forms, but reworked through Lynch's process-driven approach'.
The palette moves between muted blacks and browns, punctuated by pops of Dublin blue and vivid flashes of red, colours that 'reflect both her city's subcultural codes and her signature approach to tone and contrast'.
A central motif in the collection comes from a graphic adaptation of an 18th-century Saxon alphabet, discovered in a manuscript from the Abbey of Saint-Ouen in Rouen.
Lynch says the intricate, serpentine letterforms were originally used in ecclesiastical texts and appear reinterpreted throughout the collection and 'they nod to Ireland's calligraphic heritage and explore the crossover between language, symbolism, and textile'.
The collection also builds on visual research first developed in collaboration with fashion laboratory Synflux in 2020. Using scans of vintage GAA jerseys, 'archival graphics have been digitally manipulated, layered, and recontextualised' and it's a process that 'continues a broader conversation within Lynch's work around transformation, national identity, and cyclical design'.
The in-store installation also continues Lynch's use of scaffolding-like structures, a 'visual language' she has developed over multiple seasons. This open framework 'reflects her belief in embracing the unfinished' where garments are 'suspended mid-air, as if caught between stages'.
'This set-up offers a glimpse into the mechanics behind the collection and invites the viewer into the space between construction and completion', we're also told.
The collection is also available at Brown Thomas Cork and online at the department store's and the designer's webstores.
