Pringle Feels The Tingle of Tom Ford Alum
Fabled Scottish label taps former Gucci girl as new creative head
NEW YORK: Thursday, July 28, 2005
Those Tom Ford alums continue to steal the spotlight.
Pringle of Scotland has announced that Clare Waight Keller, a senior designer under Tom Ford at Gucci, has been appointed creative director, a new position for the house. The 34 year-old Brit replaces Stuart Stockdale, the English designer who revitalized the house over the past four years as head of design.
“She has an excellent track record in luxury design, for both Italian and American brands,” noted Kim Winser, Pringle of Scotland CEO. “Clare has strong experience with both women’s and men’s collections, which is vital for Pringle.”
Keller received a Master’s in Fashion Knitwear from the Royal College of Art, in addition to a Bachelor’s in Fashion and Textiles from Central Saint Martins. Keller also spent four years working on the womenswear collection at Calvin Klein before becoming the design director at Polo Ralph Lauren’s Purple Label menswear.
A runway show is not being planned for Milan this fall, but the company will stage an event to celebrate its 190th anniversary. And yes, you read it correctly: 190th!
