A New Era of Collaboration - AW24
Helen McAlinden unveils her Autumn/Winter 2024 Collection, a masterful blend
of elevated wearability and bold elegance, with an emphasis on exquisite materials and textures.
"Covetable looks that feel genuinely wearable."
– Helen McAlinden
Key highlights from the collection include:
Anything but Boring: The beauty of neutrals lies in their ability to look
effortlessly put together when worn head to toe. This season, we offer winter
white melton coating, drapey separates and dresses, and the essential trench in
a stone-hued satin-back crepe. A standout piece in this edit is an easy-fitting
sleeveless jumpsuit with wide legs and a detachable tie that can cinch the waist
or be worn as a necktie.
Corporate Values: The corporate core concept, viewed more as a wardrobe
staple than a trend, remains central to the Helen McAlinden ethos. This season
features tailored separates in block black, including the Cassie black boyfriend
jacket, trousers with volume, crisp white shirting, and the timeless LBD. Suiting
up is the new dressing up for evening wear.
Down to Earth: Bridging nature with fashion, this edit showcases a green forest
print in a fluid silk blend fabric in a variety of romantic silhouettes. Bias cut skirt,
pussy bow blouse, and fit and flare dress. The draped Ailbhe dress in Chartreuse
green satin adds a touch of glamour. Chartreuse green cashmere tops and
cardigans complement this earthy-hued collection. The Elora Cashmere
Chartreuse green dress could be the fulcrum of your winter wardrobe.
Country-House Weekend: Magee Tweed in a classic glen check in long coats,
oversized jackets and trousers with volume are teamed with cashmere knits
and silk shirts. The iconic fitted leather jacket, made to measure in the heart of Dublin, makes a stylish comeback. The perfect balance for any of our looser-
fitting trousers. Mix & match for your country's core look.
Quiet Luxury: Wearable workwear evolves with relaxed blazers, wide-leg
trousers, and feminine combinations of silky blouses and skirts. Classic tones of
grey and mink mix and match with cashmere knits and button-through
cardigans. Understated charcoal melton coating is a must-have for the colder months. Wrap up in the oversized cashmere throw.
A Magpie’s Delight: Pared-back maximalism shines through with shimmering
jersey tops in black and burnished copper. Perfectly paired with full long skirts in
a statement black textured rose material and striking copper silk taffeta.
Combine the polished silver pleat top with the Lyra black pants, or layer the
Lydia black trench over the Eabha in polished silver for a glamorous blend of minimalist tailoring and illustrious metallics.
Signature Colours: Beyond neutrals, the collection includes red wine-colored
classic Helen McAlinden dresses, Tyrian purple tailored in our signature tricotine
coordinates with luxurious soft separates in silk blend velvets. Crimson
cashmere blend coats and statement dresses in fiesta pink. Bold pops of colour.
