Soooooo chuffed and honoured to be on the team setting up the next big exhibition 'Tartan' at V&A Dundee. Being trained by an amazing expert who worked on the Dior and the McQueen shows at the London V&A, then three days a week for three months of costume mounting prior to the opening in April.
I designed my own expanded macro tartan print and made this Airtex T shirt dress especially for the opening night... wore it with all black so it really popped!

Excerpt...

… The garments are not only thoughtfully designed - they are outstanding on a technical level. A beautifully-shaped seamless hood is just one example of the level of skill that has gone into the pattern cutting, and the quality of the construction of the garments is evident in the level of finishing.

… In short, Tumadh: Immersion is nothing short of brilliant. This is a minimalist show packed with big ideas. It fuses craft, art and design, and offers a considered and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between the things we wear - materials, design and making - and the places we wear them.

One last thing: Here's our #STVmostread across Scotland today

Dundee based popstar come designer rocks the catwalk with new fashion line.

After an exciting career as a popstar, Tracey Stewart turned her attention to design.

Our Siobhan McFadyen caught up with her to talk about her new pret-à-porter bespoke service for fashion lovers in Dundee and beyond.

If you asked designer Tracey Stewart what inspired her to launch a fashion career, you might be surprised by her answer.

It's been almost three decades since she tip-toed into the industry following a successful stint as a pop star - complete with an unlimited clothing budget.

At 19, Tracey packed a suitcase, left her home in Glasgow's west end and headed off to London for her job as a musician which came complete with an 'unlimited' clothing allowance.

But rather than continue down a musical path, her passion for music morphed into a love of fashion and she's never looked back.

"I was a professional musician before I studied fashion," says Tracey.

"I was in my first band, SunSun, when I was 17. We were signed to a Glasgow music company called Marvel Music.

"Then, when I was 19, I auditioned for a band called Seven, and before I knew it I was working in London.

"The band was made up of some really talented musicians, we were signed to Polydor, I was always a resident of two cities, jumping between London and Glasgow.

"It's how I got interested in fashion. I had an 'unlimited' clothing budget from Polydor. In fact, I shot the cover of our album with Neil Kirk, who is a world-famous fashion photographer and from there I was hooked."

At the end of next month, Tracey, who has been teaching most recently at Dundee College, will launch her Min line for fashion lovers everywhere and she's hoping to set new trends in digital buying with a plan to sell her work on fashion site ASOS.

"And now I am excited to launch my label, I've started working from Wasp Studios which has been great as there's so many creative people around and you get lots of ideas and inspiration."

Through years of studio work involving design, pattern cutting, tailoring and sewing, Tracey has developed a unique technique and is now breathing new life into the vintage T-shirt market.

And her approach to the contemporary corset is getting fashionistas excited.
