Swedish Tartan?

Tiger of Sweden is marking its 110 year anniversary with something different – they have created a Tiger of Sweden Tartan. Interesting move from a country that once ravaged the Scottish highlands during the era of the Vikings.

The head designer, of Scottish Nationality, Ronnie McDonald had the idea that Tiger is like a clan – this clan is a group whose kinship is defined by having worked for Tiger. But a clan is not a real clan without its own Tartan. As such, Ronnie set about to create Tiger’s own tartan as a tribute to everyone who has ever worked at Tiger. The new Tartan was woven on a hand loom by Daniel Harris at London Cloth Co (and the the pattern was registered at The Scottish Register of Tartans as Tiger’s Official Tartan), guess that makes it legit as possible for a Swedish Tartan.  You can get your own piece of Tiger Tartan this Spring, but hurry as this is a very limited collection.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
