Joe RidoutFashion / ShowPringle of Scotland AW14Revolutionary knit for the tech generation through digitised motifs and hybrid techniqueShareLink copied ✔️January 8, 2014FashionShowText Susanne Madsen Photography Joe Ridout Pringle of Scotland AW14 Initial reaction: Rural boy escapes to the city, packing his duffel with steals from his father’s wardrobe. Knit revolution: This is knitwear for the internet generation, hardwired on tech. Archive pieces become futuristic hybrids, as centuries old techniques are revolutionised: an archive argyle intarsia floral motif becomes a digitised thistle, and cable knit golf v-necks are given a graphic spin. Unexpected details: 3D surfaces seem unbelievably high tech, but are in fact handmade. Cellophane yarn is used to bind a perforated knit. High shine burgundy toes on leather boots mirror the sumptuous burgundy tones used throughout. Father’s wardrobe: Soft biker boy leathers appear stolen from an older generation, and elegant check blazers and coats hang off youthful shoulders. Son’s wardrobe: Trousers that graze ankles and school regulation polonecks. The daring youth driven clash of slouchy cashmere jogging bottoms with tailored jackets, and sharp trousers with fluid knitwear. Escape the algorithm!
