Pringle of Scotland meets David Shrigley & Ryan McGinley
Animation by James Newport, Narration by Bridget McCann.
To launch into Spring Summer, Pringle of Scotland commissioned an animation from David Shrigley and a short film from photographer Ryan McGinley. Shrigley’s animation about the making of Pringle jumpers was to celebrate their return with a menswear collection to Milan Fashion Week, while McGinleys showcases the new SS10 Womenswear collection. The first is a high brow sweater v jumper debate and the second is Tilda Swinton in beautiful dresses romping around the highlands.
As a first time collaborator with the historical label Shrigley says…
“My film is about the heritage and workings of Pringle of Scotland. I have perhaps used some artistic license in depicting this, but i think it is nonetheless fairly accurate. I have enjoyed making artwork for a fashion label. The characters that i draw are better dressed as a result. In fact, I used to draw naked characters. Now they have clothes. I think this is a good thing.”
