The Bite Magazine - Summer 2012 - Issue 5

bite catwalk O n Sunday June 17, Alistair Carr delivered his last ever menswear show for Pringle of Scotland. Pringle, who are notorious for their intricate and heavy knitwear, presented us with an overall clean cut and somewhat simplistic show. While the collection was predominantly composed of lightweight knitwear, the structure, fine tailoring and seductive colour schemes were something that should most definitely not be taken casually. Stunning nautical striped t-shirts that pictured elongated diamond shapes opened the collection, while colour blocked trousers caused a stir amongst the front row - the contrast black blazer only enhancing the overall look. Colour-wise, we saw delicate lilac tones fizzling into burnt orange shades, but it was that smouldering shade of Arabian blue that did it for us as it dazzled those within the building, reminding us of the summer months that are yet to come. Overall this collection had a soft demeanour about it. It was charming, wearable and everything you would expect from a final Pringle show. But what really caught my eye at the show was the delectable camouflaged knitwear. These jumpers featured strong crew shaped necklines, and were worn with brightly coloured trousers. It added texture to the collection and was an innovative way of adding a pattern, which inevitably helped to keep up the Pringle panache. The Bite Magazine would like to thank Saint Brewing Co – the purveyors of British craft. Saint was one of the sponsors at this year’s London Collections, celebrating style and providing bottles of Saint Lager to the fashion elite at The Hospital Club. www.pringlescotland.com STACY-JAYNE ARCHER REPORTS ONTHE PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND’S SS13 MENSWEAR SHOW HELDATTHE HOSPITAL CLUB DURING LONDON COLLECTIONS: MEN WEEKEND.
