Lou Dalton cited the ban on Tartan in 1746 as inspiration for her latest collection. The static presentation allowed Dalton's designs to be inspected in detail which suited her custom fairisle and Buchanan tartan. The burnt orange and navy colours were accentuated with subtle gold zip details and leather buttons. A mini kilt belt in felt played with the theme and the shoes from Grenson tied together this stoical collection.
Dalton also found influence in the timeless Scottish evening dress of velvet jacket and large check trousers - See Ronnie Corbett working the look last year - click here
