Allison Dunne

DUNNE CLIFF is an artisanal label that seeks to redefine knitwear. Each piece is hand-crafted by designer A. DUNNE at her studio in Vancouver. Heritage is core to the label, and collections consider topics relating to philosophy, literature, technology, the history of science, and art.

DUNNE CLIFF’s upcoming F/W24 collection (‘TECHNICAL OUTERWEAR CONSUMES ME’) considers an indulgent appetite for advances in outerwear tech, and a corresponding decay of style rooted in family tradition.

ALLISON DUNNE is an emerging designer born on the coast and raised in the interior of British Columbia. Her family heritage on the Shetland Islands led to her focus on Fair Isle knitwear, with DUNNE CLIFF pieces combining traditional elements with idiosyncratic visions. ALLISON released her first and second collections (‘ON ICARUS AND AI’, and ‘ON THE GIANTS OF SHALOTT’) at Vancouver Fashion Week in 2023. Her work has been featured on CTV NEWS, as well as VOGUE ITALY and VOGUE MEXICO and LATIN AMERICA.
