Just a few weeks ago, the catwalks at London Fashion Week were awash with fresh new Scottish talent, confirming that Scotland is bursting at the seams with talented young fashion designers.
What has sparked this surge in Scottish talent? With a little help from the Glasgow: Scotland With Style collective, young Scottish fashion designers have been given support to showcase their talents to the rest of the world.
With so much talent emerging from such a wee country, it seems the big beady eye of the international fashion industry is firmly focused on Scotland. So, here for your very fashionable education, is the first in our series of ones to watch in 2008.
Vidler Nixon
A duo comprised of Glasgow born Kerry Nixon and Australian Stefan Vidler, Vidler and Nixon have collaborated since a coincidental meeting in 2006.
They received a nomination for Scottish designer of the year at last year's Scottish Style awards and they are part of the Glasgow: Scotland with style collective. Combining masculine and feminine with a mix of tailored blazers teamed up with floaty, girly dresses and full skirts, Vidler and Nixon have created a collection with an air of innocence and sophistication.
The pair already have a host of fashion-savvy celebrity devotees including Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley. Unfortunately for the non-celebrities amongst us, Vidler and Nixon’s designs are only available between the pricey four walls of Harrods.
