Contemporary Scottish Costume

In 2010, I was Director of Costume for The Commonwealth Games Flag Handover Ceremony in Delhi. I was commissioned to create the brand look of the cast for the 8 minute performance which was watched by 60,000 people in the stadium and a billion people on television worldwide. I dressed 350 cast members in a unique red tartan designed by myself and two cast members wearing bespoke Jilli Blackwood outfits.
