Move Over Plaid

Quoted from: http://julialondon.blogspot.com

'There's a new kilt in town.Howie Nicholsby of Edinburgh-based 21st Century Kilts is changing the face (skirt?) of fashion with his funky patterned kilts. Sure he has traditional tartans among his offerings. But he also makes kilts in denim, shiny metallics, tropical prints, leather, camo, even pink plastic.Local Edinburgh hipsters, and celebrities like Madonna and Robbie Williams, are crazy for the wild new designs. New? Nicholsby claims he is taking the kilt back to it's fashion roots to make it an every day piece of clothing. Nicholsby's kilts are worn low slung across the hips, in keeping with today's style trends. Prices start at $450 and go up to $2500.Who knows, the next time one of us ends up with a braw Highlander on her bookcover, he may be sporting a silver snakeskin kilt slung low across his hips instead of the traditional plaid. (Um, yeah, I doubt it, too). I think I would like my kilt in black velvet. How about you?'
