About MeBill's Scottish roots inspired this collection. The tailored day wear features tartans and tweeds, whilst the knits picked up on another emblem of Scottish textiles - the paisley pattern.The pinecone motif, originally from Kashmir, was adopted by the town of Paisley, the principal producer of densely patterned paisley shawls in the 19th century.
Bill has used the motif along the hem of his knitted smock dress. Worn with a silver fox fur by Philip Hockley.
