This collection, entitled ‘Teenage Wasteland’ is an exploration of lifelong influences and personal heritage. Inspiration is drawn from my Scottish roots through the use of my own Clan tartans—McPherson and Anderson—and elements of the historical highland uniform. A genuine physical connection to my Scottish heritage is formed by use of 100% wool tartan material sourced from Scotland by my own family members over 20 years ago.
Tradition meets unconventional when historical silhouettes and materials merge with the atttude and rebellion of 1970’s Rock’n’Roll. Flares and platforms galore, nostalgic styles are reimagined for the modern eccentric with nods to British rock icons such as The Who and The Sex Pistols. This collection serves as a personal memoir of my childhood Rock’n’Roll education and its continued influence on my life and art.
