First look at Joanne Hynes collection of 'forever' pieces for Dunnes Stores

Published 1 month ago• 3 minute read

There are trend pieces that allow us to be playful with outfit choices, then there are those 'forever' buys that we find ourselves returning to, whatever the season.

These items are our wardrobe workhorses that bolster our style and make for an easy go-to, no matter the occasion.

On that front, Joanne Hynes has created and curated a limited edition collection of designs inspired by her archive of work and passion for creativity and we have a first look!

To be more precise, the forthcoming 'For Beauty Sake' line, which will be available at Dunnes Stores, is inspired by a silk T-shirt made by the designer in 2004.

The collection has been designed as pieces that we want to keep in our wardrobes for years to come, that are wearable and also versatile with a focus that will straddle multiple occasions.

One piece will go the distance is the Sequin Organza Sequin Top that can be dressed up or down.

The Collector's Memorabilia Print shirt with pinstripe, jersey and metallic detailing is a sweet addition to any work wardrobe look.

The same goes for the Cut-Away Pinstripe Embroidered Shirt, which is a style statement in its own right, requiring minimal styling.

Speaking of, dress gals will want to get their hands on the Dreamers Frill Dress with enormous butterfly-style shoulders that will help balance proportions and flowing ruffles.

It dips from a beige tone in a subtle pinstrip pattern to a bright, bold pop of orange and has a zip running the length of the dress.

The bright blue Manifesto Print Lined Shirt is another summer buy that you can whip out year after year.

Not forgetting the accessories, 'For Beauty Sake' also includes a selection of covetable bags to lust after.

That includes the My Heart Belongs Crossbody with a shoulder frill strap that doubles as a belt.

The burgundy 'Mná' Classic Box Bag is a new take on a long-time classic, and then there is the 'For Beauty Sake' Manifesto bag.

'For Beauty Sake' launches next week at Dunnes Stores in St. Stephen's Green (Dublin), Dundrum (Dublin), Bandon Road (Cork) and Patrick's St (Cork), as well as online at dunnesstores.com
