Scottish artist David Shrigley is the author of a limited edition for knitwear company Pringle of Scotland, known worldwide for having designed the argyle pattern and committed for years in supporting Scottish visual arts, design and architecture. Shrigley created a series of designs, exclusively for Pringle of Scotland, that have been used to create a limited edition collection of T-shirts and twin-sets, on sale from September 10th 2009 in Tokyo, Hong Kong and London flagship stores and in some of Europe's most trendy concept stores, like Colette in Paris, Andreas Murkudis in Berlin and Corso Como 10 in Milan. 20% of the incomes of the T-shirts sellings will be donated to arts and social institutions. Moreover, on the occasion of the celebrations for 25 years of London Fashion Week, Pringle of Scotland will produce a billboard, designed by Shrigley, that will be displayed for the whole month of September across London's underground network among the works displayed for "Art on the Underground". www.pringlescotland.com |
