Fashion gets a Pringle down its spine.



As mentioned in my post last week, LFW has been happily announcing the return of British fashion brands like Burberry and Matthew Williamson to the British catwalks. Now they have announced long standing brand Pringles of Scotlands return to LFW.

I must say i grew up wearing Pringles cardigans and V neck jumpers, so i am one of the many who are curious to see their collection.



So to continue, the news out of the horses mouth is:

"Pringle of Scotland will return to London Fashion Week for the brand’s 195th anniversary and the BFC’s 25 year celebrations.

The move, which was driven by Pringle of Scotland’s creative director Clare Waight Keller and new CEO Mary-Adair Macaire, will see the British brand return to London to show their Spring/Summer 2010 womenswear collection. They will join Burberry and Matthew Williamson, who have also announced their return to London this September. BFC.’ Chairman of the British Fashion Council Harold Tillman, said “We are delighted that Pringle of Scotland are returning to London for our 25th year celebrations. It is fantastic to have a brand with such a strong British heritage showing alongside our emerging stars such as Giles, Christopher Kane, Marios Schwab and Richard Nicoll”.



So fellow Champagnista's be sure to pencil into your diary that London Fashion Week will be taking place from 18th – 22nd September 2009 at its new cultural home, Somerset House.
You can look forward to welcoming Clare Waight Keller, who originally studied for her MA in Fashion Knitwear at the Royal College of Art who is returning to London to show here for the first time since graduation. She will join other RCA alumni including Erdem, Julien Macdonald and Nathan Jenden.


Lastly, be sure to note that the British Fashion Council will also be celebrating its 25th anniversary this season which gives us fashionistas the chance to toast them with a yummy glass of Moet- then again do we ever need a reason to indulge in a glass of bubbly?
