Mary Grant Boutique in The Powerscourt Townhouse Centre

2 weeks ago Irish fashion designer Mary Grant opened her boutique in The Powerscourt Townhouse Centre in Dublin.

Creating timeless pieces for women since 1993, Mary’s latest feast of fashion is lifestyle as opposed to trend driven to ensure there is something to perfectly suit all moods, tastes and occasions. Simple silhouettes, feminine hues and sophisticated cuts have been combined to stand the test of time and become tomorrow’s heirlooms.

Coveted for its use of luxurious textures, exquisite detailing and ethical production methods, this spring/summer collection offers a host of timeless pieces to choose from and has been created with the modern day Irish woman as its design inspiration.

With each collection being designed as an extension of the previous seasons, clients can create a fresh look or pair new garments with their favourite classic pieces. Tulle skirts with asymmetrical knit tunics, printed jersey dresses and stretch voile overdresses are just some of the sartorial staples which will transition seamlessly from day to night with a simple accessory change.

 The immaculate skills in constructing and stitching all clothing by hand are the trademarks of this unique collection. It can take several days of making and remaking a piece, with perhaps only a millimetre between rows of stitching or tucks being the difference between a garment being rejected or receiving the designer’s special seal of approval. 

Commenting on the opening of her boutique, Mary said “Twenty-two years after launching our first collection in Powerscourt’s Design Centre, we are delighted to be back with our own store. It is every designer’s dream to have their own store and we are so lucky to have such a beautiful space in a centre like Powerscourt which is so unique and has such a creative vibe. It feels like we are home and we are looking forward to offering our customers the full Mary Grant experience and pushing our boundaries even further.”

This are my favourite pieces from Mary's latest collection, Spring/Summer 2015
