Feileadh-mor. A word imbued with tradition, inspiring thoughts of Gaelic drama and the historic Highlands of Scotland. Translated roughly as ‘great wrap’, it is the name given to the technique of wrapping, winding and draping heavy fabrics around the body. Originally part of eighteenth century Highland dress, the shape and silhouette influenced today’s wholly contemporary collection, with swathes and squares of fabric used to construct voluminous shapes, often secured with oversized kilt pins.
