Pringle of Scotland shows its Spring Collection at LFW
Previously shown in Milan, Pringle of Scotland has brought back to Britain for 25th anniversary of London Fashion Week, by its new American CEO, Mary-Adair Macaire.
Clare Waight Keller, the designer, went all out to remind audience that Pringle is a knitwear firm. Policy sounds good, but what does a knit collection look like for Spring? The answer was a mixture of chunky, open cable-knit cardigans; fine-gauge fit ‘n’ flare dresses; and evolution of multilevel ruffled short skirt cropping up in a lot of places this season.
Keller kept color to a minimum, with white, gray, and lemon. Two versions of “Tilda” dress made of satin, and complex straps crossing a bare back, came out at the end of show. Meanwhile, Swinton wore a white tuxedo and silver foil T-shirt from men’s line for the evening.
Academy award winner Tilda Swinton had been asked by Pringle to do a creative campaign for Spring/Summer 2010, in which she would be roaming in a Scottish castle, barefoot in evening gowns. Campaign is to be photographed and filmed by iconic art photographer, Ryan McGinley.
