he said the clothes reflect the unpredictable weather

I don't think Christopher Bailey designed this Pringle collection , it's another designer whose name escapes me . C Bailey designed the Burberry Prorsum collection , which is HIGHLY colourful , but not as ' outre ' as this .
The Scottish cashmere mills and knitwear firms AND the fabric mills make up for ALL major fashion centres , eg Paris , Milan , London , Tokyo , New York etc .
Most , if not all of CHANEL knitwear is made in Scotland , and designers fom Scotland are numerous , eg Bill Gibb , John Ray , and Scotland , especially Glasgow rivals London as a fashion retail centre . They were into the Japanese designers at ICHI NI SAN long before Manchester , Leeds , Birrmingham came on the scene . It may be a cause for a smirk now , but the only VERSACE store outside London is in Glasgow , along with ARMANI EMPORIO , FLANNELS ( CRUISE ) etc etc .
I'm not Scottish , but the Scots are not to be dismissed lightly . B)
