HUBE MAGAZINE: Interview with Roisin Pierce

https://hubemag.com/roisin-pierce-nothing-pure-can-stay

Irish designer, Róisín Pierce, is taking the fashion industry forward by looking back. In her recent collection, Nothing Pure Can Stay, which debuted at Paris Fashion Week, she explores death and impermanence in beauty, referencing Irish folklore and tradition, poetry and prose, while also channeling her own individual need to push the bounds forward, particularly in regard to the way we tell women’s stories. Like all her collections before, Nothing Pure Can Stay was made primarily in white as an ode to the craft of Irish women before her, and an invitation to the beholder to view a blank page, ready for a new story to be written. In this new chapter, Pierce introduces color to her design universe with looks in navy, black, and denim showcasing her extensive range. In her steadfast commitment to the process of creation, Pierce presents a collection made of methodical and meticulous craft, pulling together elements of embroidery and storytelling, honouring each textile (her area of interest at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin), engaging the viewer to reflect not only on the product, but the importance of the process behind it.
