Scottish kilts from France !

How does a French seamstress and fashion designer come to the art of kilt making?
I was born in Lyon, France, a city world-famous for its mills and its silks. I completed my studies in haute couture
and for years specialised in wedding gowns and other custom made garments.
With
the legacy of the Donnachàidh, MacKinnon, Lindsay and Montgomery
flowing in the bloodstream of my husband Robert
and our two daughters,
I must say it seemed only natural for me to have been drawn towards
Highland wear, and I began
to research the historical origins of the
Scottish kilt.
As a professional seamstress, I was
quickly enthralled by the different aspects that this research
revealed. Today, I specialise
in historical pleating of the kilt, such
as box pleated kilts, Kingussie kilts, and offer a line of Period
inspired Highland wear.
