We were thrilled to have been asked by the UKFT and the DBT to exhibit and attend the ‘Creators of the Exceptional’ event at the V&A Museum in London alongside the Chanel Exhibition. The evening aimed to recognise and honour the valuable role played by small textile suppliers in the global fashion industry. We also had some fascinating talks by Justine Picardie who has written a wonderful book on Gabrielle Chanel and her links with Scotland, Rupert Daniels from the Department of Business and Trade, Dr Tristram Hunt Director of the V&A and Lord Johnson, Minister of Investment with uplifting messages to UK Small and Medium sized businesses on the state of the fashion industry and on international trade.
Set against the backdrop of the stunning Coco Chanel exhibition, we were in great company as heritage brands such as Stephen Walters, Johnstones of Elgin, Barry, Holland & Sherry and Harris Tweed were exhibiting alongside us in a room full of original Raphael masters, some owned by the King.
On the mannequin, you can see our Highlands at Dusk Blanket Wrap, from our HERITAGE tartan handwoven collection in British alpaca with rose fibre in our unique colour palette, colourmatched to natural dyes (and on the right a wonderful Chanel suit from the exhibition!).
What a wonderful honour for Araminta Campbell to be recognised as a Creator of The Exceptional.
