MILAN, Mar 9, 2005/ FW/ --- The historic design house of Pringle is celebrating nineteen decades of being a Scottish powerhouse of fine fashion.

In 1815 Robert Pringle founded the Whiskey House Mill where he spun his own yarn to knit the first Pringle hosiery. This hosiery company expanded to men and women’s undergarments and now they have further expanded to become a fashion brand label of wonderful knits and clothing.

Set in a moonless black infinite forest, the Pringle woman is surrounded by jagged birches swaying in a night breeze as she wears rustic colours of brown and pale pink. Yet this woman is free with an untamed pony tail, she is in full control of her life when she decides to step out in her fur shoes or more exciting colours of reds and lichen green. Her shoe collection is all about a round toe suede pump in brown which will accompany her every step of her journey.

Simple faux fawn duffle coats with delicate layers of knits styled with crystal buttons will keep her from the bitter cold. This woman is assured, but she is definitely feeling her inner school girl chicness with dainty sweaters and cardigans with feminine skirts. With the colour palate this young lady is a country girl with big city dreams as she wonders through a lifeless forest of opportunity.

Her dreams come true when she imagines herself at the finest balls in twinkling chiffons and hand intarsia cashmere with thistle printed fragile kilts. Elegant tulle gowns in champagne and pale rose make this Pringle young lady want to be in her rightful surroundings of a grand castle.

With love and passion, Stuart Stockdale has given us a fairytale dream collection that is so toadyish for this grandiose old-guard label.
