For the first time since before the pandemic the Dressed to Kilt (DTK) charity fashion show is returning to its New York City roots. Co-Founded by Sir Sean Connery and Dr. Geoffrey Scott Carroll in 2003, it is now the most prestigious, largest and exciting Scottish fashion show in the world. It is also one of the largest fashion shows in the world in terms of press and media generation and it is the highest profile Scottish event of New York City Tartan Day.
Country Couture – From the Scottish Highlands to Fifth Avenue
The show theme for 2025 will be “Country Couture – From the Scottish Highlands to Fifth Avenue”. This will be a tribute to the fashion of the countryside and the great outdoors. The DTK runway becomes a stage for outdoor lifestyle fashion that encompasses hunting, hiking, riding, skiing, climbing, boating, etc. There is a ‘Country Chic’ look that is emerging, and this movement is bringing nature back into urban environments. This influence of the countryside in urban style (tweeds, tailoring, plaid, cashmere, leather and suede) is adding warmth and softness to the city silhouettes and attitudes.
Though the fashion runways of New York City are the home of Dressed to Kilt, this annual celebrity show has recently performed to sold-out standing room only audiences in a castle, a cathedral, Washington DC, an airplane hangar in Houston and most recently in Toronto, Canada. This years show will take place at the Church of Heavenly Rest, a beautiful cathedral on Fifth Avenue and 90th Street in front of Central Park. DTK has raised significant sums for Veteran’s causes throughout the years, earning acclaim and extensive recognition. Their partnership with the Navy SEAL Foundation has drawn renewed attention and admiration for their endeavors.
Dressed To Kilt takes place on Saturday April 5th. Tickets on sale, for more details visit: www.dressedtokilt.com.
