Alison’s practice continuously evolves and remains necessarily incomplete; it is transitory, mobile, and fragmentary. Rooted in the rich textile tradition of Ireland’s dramatic Atlantic coast her design philosophy is imagined through a delicate modernist lens. Fine lines, metamorphic contours, mellow tones with shades of iridescent. 

Alison Conneely is an award winning designer and creative director from the Ardbear Peninsula on Ireland’s Atlantic coastline. Her most recent collaboration with the United Nation’s Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), HAIL THEE: We Come in Reveries of Change, launched in September 2022 to critical acclaim. 

In 2018 she launched her eponymous brand in the Unites States. In 2017 Alison collaborated with artist Jesse Jones as costume director for Tremble Tremble representing Ireland in the Venice Biennale. In 2016 Alison was chosen as Irish Design Representative by the National of Museum of Ireland for the 1916 Centenary Commemorations. Her show 'The Shuttle Hive: A Century of Rising Threads', a commemorative design collection, explored through the lens of the modernist movement, the agency of revolt and myth, as identity paradigm for Irish women.

Living in Ireland with her partner Emmet, she divides her time between her studio in Dublin’s historic Jewish Quarter Portobello and their farm on the Ardbear Peninsula in Connemara.
