THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN + SWEATERS

‘“The sweaters, the jumpers that they were wearing at the time were much simpler, so a lot of time they were quite plain and some cable-knit just here, on the side,” [costume designer Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh] says of the warm and wooly wardrobe staple [...] The Dublin-based Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh worked with local octogenarian Delia Barry to help design the handmade knits worn by Farrell, Gleeson, and Barry Keoghan.

“Brendan loved [the sweaters] so much, she’s been knitting jumpers for him since Christmas. He sends her cards … and she’s just adorable. She knit the one for Barry Keoghan and Colin’s red one with the collar,” Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh explains. The handcrafted piece with its exaggerated collar and deep sanguine color is truly one-of-a-kind.’ [x]
