First look: Joanne Hynes launches colourful spring 2023 collection with Dunnes Stores

The colourful collection is designed to evoke that feeling of an early-spring lift in your step

“We started with feelings. A need for hopeful new energy," says the designer. 

This season it is all about dopamine-boosting prints and bright colours at Dunnes Stores as fashion designer Joanne Hynes launches a brand new collection for Spring 2023.

From dreamy dresses and skirts to colourful coats and a statement bag, Joanne Hynes’ collection has everything you need to make a statement this spring.

The collection is designed to evoke that feeling of an early-spring lift in your step and also includes “tailoring-to-die-for”.

“We started with feelings. A need for hopeful new energy. We were inspired by retro-futuristic 1960s graphic prints and interiors that made our hearts beat fast. This led to our Techno Polka Print,” explains Hynes.

“We were also influenced by crafts of folding paper and potato prints. This was then contrasted with the energy of evenings in the city, a landscape of buildings alongside flowers. These contradicting ideas were then set against the skyline of summer to create another dynamic print.”
