Celebrities, including Hollywood actors Jennifer Lawrence and
Anya Taylor-Joy, gathered in the picturesque gardens of Drummond
Castle in central Scotland for the show on Monday, where
designer Maria Grazia Chiuri peppered kilts for the womenswear
line with some punk nods.
Models wore an array of tartan asymmetric dresses, cropped and
belted jackets, shorts and corsets, as well argyle knits, capes
and lace or velvet frocks varying in length and volume.
Some of her designs bore fringes, embroidered thistle motifs or
the map of Scotland. Others were festooned with pictures of
founding designer Christian Dior's 1955 fashion presentation at
the nearby Gleneagles Hotel.
Voluminous layered bodice dresses appeared to be a nod to Tudor
styles, while some short frocks seemed armour-like.
Chiuri cited a book about Mary, Queen of Scots and her
embroidery work as an inspiration. A white shirt tucked under a
white corset were embroidered with various words in red,
including "fierce", "hysterical", "emotional" and "bossy."
Chiuri, who often works with female collaborators for shows,
teamed up with Scottish designer Samantha McCoach, of the brand
Le Kilt, for some creations.
The looks were accessorised with chunky black boots, long black
gloves and chokers with pearls.
“Scotland is an important reference in the fashion world and I
wanted to interpret it in a different way," Chiuri told fashion
magazine Vogue ahead of the show.
"For my generation, it’s so associated with punk, but there is
another way to go into it, and that’s through the textiles."
Cruise, or resort, collections - produced by stylists in
addition to twice-yearly seasonal collections - are often held
in different cities or countries.
