Men in Skirts
When Italian Fashion Remakes the Scottish Kilt
Each year the famous brand of whiskey carries out a beneficial parade whose funds are given to to important causes. This year the money was given to "The Friends of Scotland" whose objective is to destine the funds to the veterans that return from the war in Afganistan and of Iraq. A good cause for those tickets whose prices oscillated between 150 and 10,000 dollars. This year the catwalk theme was "Dressed to Kilt", a good phrase, since all the models paraded with the traditional Scottish skirt, the well known kilt. It was a contribution between the Scottish traditional fashion and the chic Italian style of different designers, Europeans and Americans. The host at night was the fabulously sexy Sir Sean Connery.
