THE EGYPTIAN KILT

The first in a modern style of kilt, developed by adapting traditional Kingussie pleating to
include an inverted box at each side. My side-pleat kilts have a flat rear apron that mirrors
the apron at the front. This retains the traditional a-line shape and appearance, but has less
bulk and weight at the back. Medium weight black denim is paired with handwoven African
cloth for a flash of colour when walking. The inspiration was drawn from the Egyptology
collections at the British Museum, which show the early adoption of kilts by Egyptian pharaohs,
part of our on-going designs for the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
