Tartan mania: a checked season.. 'Check' on!

There are various variations used in fashion to interpret the 'checked' weaving that dominates the catwalks of the autumn-winter 2021/22 season.. and is reconfirmed even more as an evergreen of street style all over the world.

Tartan, Check, Scottish... what attracts us?

Without a doubt, tartan fashion is immediately autumn-winter .. it is no coincidence that it belongs to the Scottish highland area of ​​the Highlands, with the plaid, from which the kilt will later originate, which many stylists have become passionate about in the history of fashion, in how much he interpreted a 'fluid' garment, without gender .. immediately evoking a sense of revolution ...

Thus Vivienne Westwood chose the 'checked' motif to set up the windows of her 'Sex' shop in London, contributing to the birth of the 'punk style' and influencing the entire 70s fashion scene.

It spreads so quickly.. among shirts, trousers, coats and jackets, that it falls into contradiction, for example when we find it in rigorous interpretations such as school uniforms!

Cultural identity, transgression and rigor.. concepts that oppose and attract us by granting that freedom of interpretation that only tartan can give!

Mixed with leather or iconized with bon ton style, there are no precise rules for combining it...

And is this perhaps what attracts us?
