LFW: Pringle of Scotland

Set against the white backdrop of the Phillips de Pury venue, Alistair Carr took inspiration from his youthful memories of a girl he used to know at school, ‘grown out of her teenage angst into a sophisticated woman, but with just a hint of that rebellious past remaining’ says Carr on the show notes.

The collection referenced school uniforms with integral box pleats mirroring the pleating of school skirts, formed in cashmere and luxury basket weave fabrics, were seen on skirts, coats and jumpers.

Keeping with the brand’s heritage, Carr also included a lot of knitwear, from the classic cashmere rollneck to the Memphis-inspired jacquard knits with a trompe l'oeil cardigan effect that opened the show, some of which were gorgeous pops of colour in candy pink and mint shades.

Colour also popped up in the outerwear in a more subtle way, adding contrasting colour collars and sleeves in bubble gum pink, mint and navy.

The show also attracted a celeb-packed front row with Olivia Palermo, Rose Bryne, Jasmine Guinness, Jade Parfitt and blogger Bip Ling.
