The RobynLynch fall 2023 collection is here. View every look:
Robyn Lynch did what she always does to find inspiration: She turned to her roots. The designer had previously focused on the history of her family, but this time she wanted to discover more about her Irish heritage. “I’m not usually one to come up with elaborate concepts—it’s just not how I work—but the idea of honoring Irish culture has always appealed to me,” she said at a preview. “Of course, I wanted it to be embedded with my sense of humor, in the most charming way.
As a starting point to the collection, Lynch delved into the idea of what it means to be Irish, and all the pre-conceived notions that comes with it. “I was thinking about all of the silly things that you’d find on eBay: Shamrocks, leprechauns, pints of Guinness, and a lot of the color green—so I decided to make everything green,” she said. “Instead of feeling offended by the basic iconography and its stereotypes, I wanted to celebrate them all by using them as symbols of pride.
At the Old Selfridges Hotel show space with a harpist serenading the crowd, Lynch sent out an array of looks that encompassed four shades of green: pistachio, lizard, phthalo, and deep sage. As a finalist for this year’s Woolmark Prize,he made a majority of the pieces out of merino wool, a material that she’s explored numerous times over the years. “The fabric is actually good for the skin,” she explained.
The designer embraced her hallmarks with a lightness that felt new, from oversized hoodies and boxy fleece zip-ups, to spliced shirts, shorts, and tracksuit sets that merged knit with technical fabric. Overall, the collection felt polished andelevated—perhaps the confidence boost from the Woolmark Prize helped push her designs forward.
