Elegance and Versatility for Special Occasions

A key advantage of a made-to-measure Maire Forkin outfit is its adaptability and timeless design. Crafted specifically to be restyled in various ways, each piece ensures enduring relevance in your wardrobe. Maire, an LSAD graduate with training in Savile Row and under Catherine Walker in London, has recently launched her made-to-order collection. This range is crafted in Ireland using luxurious French and Italian fabrics, available in sizes 8-18. The collection includes stunning full-length wool coats with detachable cuffs, elegant tops with asymmetrical details, and optional faux fur trims. Among the highlights is a chic “flapper” dress with a removable cape and double-layered hem detail, with prices ranging from €750 to €1,600.  Deirdre Mcquillan, The Irish Times Magazine December 2024

Craftsmanship That Celebrates Individuality

Maire Forkin’s contemporary luxury brand is synonymous with bespoke tailoring that flatters and enhances the client’s unique silhouette. Each design combines bold silhouettes, asymmetrical lines, and an origami-inspired aesthetic. This precision and creativity ensure clients across Ireland and the UK feel confident and stunning in her creations.

Customer feedback highlights the transformative magic of Maire’s designs. Her clients, including contemporary Mothers of the Bride and Groom, mature brides, and modern women, cherish her stylish and chic creations for special occasions. These custom-made outfits often become wardrobe staples, prized for their quality, versatility, and timeless appeal.

Designs That Evolve with You

Maire’s innovative approach ensures her designs are both elegant and functional. Many of her pieces are versatile, appearing as cohesive dresses yet wearable as separates. For instance, peplum tops can pair effortlessly with skirts, bootcut trousers, or cropped trousers. Optional features like capes and faux fur cuffs offer endless styling possibilities.

Clients love the practical yet stylish nature of these designs. A peplum top, for example, transitions seamlessly from a formal event to casual wear when styled with cropped trousers, wedge trainers, and a cross-body bag. The inclusion of removable sleeves and mesh details allows wearers to create distinct looks for different occasions.
