Insert dozens of prominent models, actors, athletes, wounded war veterans and extremely flexible hip hop dancers, wearing everything from traditional kilts to haute couture gowns and it was clear why the event is billed as the most prestigious Scottish fashion show in the world. One would describe as a mix of fashion, live theatrics and a deeper knowledge of Kinloch Anderson.
Members of violin virtuoso troup “Bowfire” (The Alizma triplets meets Riverdance) provided cultural “half time” entertainment.
Clever product placement of the evening went to the model with an iPad (fashion accessory?), proudly displaying the Flag of Scotland as he walked the runway. I know, right? Yet another use of the darn thing.
Kilts, as it turns out, must be some sort of aphrodisiac, as models could not stop kissing and groping one another throughout the show. In other news, I will be speaking to my travel agent asap.
Official flag of Scotland gift bags contained Scottish things including a box of Walkers Shortbread cookies, but sadly no whisky.
Ticket proceeds from Dressed to Kilt will benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America and its Scottish equivalent, the Erskine Hospital of Scotland, along with the Wounded Warrior Project.
