HIGHLAND CHIC

Fashion has given tweed a thoroughly modern twist this autumn with designers from Balenciaga to McQueen turning to the Highlands for inspiration.

Here at home, Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish (who designed the uniforms for Susur Lee’s new NYC restaurant at the Thompson LES) have created a collection that would certainly get a royal stamp of approval.

Think slim-fitting dresses, high-waisted pants and skirt suits with puffed shoulders and nipped waists in tweed, plaid and wool.

Splendid.
