Scrummy @ Pringle SS11

Well hello there everyone, I am finally back to normality...although I have had some holiday blues, I am back and have been filtering through my 800+ emails I had when I got home and sieving through these has been a mammouth task, hence why I am so late with my posting, there's so many yummy things I have been sent in my email.

Firstly I was very exited to read a short article on ANOTHER.com from the designer at Pringle, Clare Weight Keller, in discussion about her Menswear S/S11 collection. Once I read the article I checked out good ol' style.com and saw the beautiful collection. In said article Clare spoke of playing with key pieces in a gentlemens wardrobe and talked about wanting to deconstruct the materials of these staple pieces to give them a yummy freshness, which looking at the collection, I think she has with gorgeous simplicity, the colour palette is stunning.

David Shrigley for Pringle of Scotland

In a lecture we were shown this short 'behind the scenes' clip for Pringle of Scotland, produced by David Shrigley, for Pringle's celebration of there return to Milan fashion week. To be honest I have never really seen any of David Shrigley's work, or if I have I do apologise as I have never known this was his work. Anywhoo.....after seeing the above clip I began to look into Shrigley's work, which I find quite entertaining and very charming, and as Pringle's creative director, Clare Waight Keller states,

'As an outsider he has a very different perception of the fashion world, and combining that with his wit and unaffected point of view, the result is fabulous'

(which was written in an article in Elle mag discussing David Shrigley's involvement with Pringle: the article also discussing Shrigley's limited edition Elle bag- *excited*) I really agree with Clare's statement and I do believe this is why Shrigley's piece is very effective and is going to be a hit with the fashion crowd... It seems to me that it's much more interesting to see collaborations with fashion brands and someone working outside the fashion industry as, as you can see from above, the results are humurous, creative, effective and entertaining.
