INFLUENCES
Pastoral beauty and a deep connection to its heritage make Scotland an ideal place to explore. It’s classic escapism, both romantic and pragmatic.
Breathing new life into centuries-old pattern with a more modern sensibility is exciting challenge, with countless opportunities for experimentation.
While Scotland is famous for its tartans, it also has a rich history with paisley, a motif that earned its modern name from the eponymous manufacturing town in the 1800s.
Don’t forget florals, from classic chinoiserie, jacquard tapestries and loose, gestural depictions inspired by wild English gardens and Scotland’s pastoral beauty.
Look to hunting traditions and explore animal furs, scales and feathers.
Infuse classic pattern such as plaids, herringbone and houndstooth with pops of punchy color.
Mine for inspiration with a deep-dive into Queen Elizabeth’s foulard collection - look to modern interpretations from British designers like McQueen.
