Róisín Pierce
Róisín Pierce inhabits the space between intergenerational craft and contemporary textile innovation. Effortless in character, each frothy, all-white piece quietly pushes boundaries with novel textile manipulations and zero-waste cutting side by side with traditional craft techniques. Experimental textures are developed by hand each season by founder Róisín Pierce, who launched her eponymous label in 2020 after studying Textile Design at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland. The brand’s meticulous garment-making has earned numerous accolades. Pierce's debut collection won awards at the 34th Hyères International Festival. She was a 2022 LVMH Prize finalist and listed in Forbes 30 under 30. In 2023, RÓISÍN PIERCE became the first Irish namesake brand to show at Paris Fashion Week
