Gingham.
Although we know it for its checkered pattern, it was originally imported into Europe in the 17th century as a striped fabric. As it was being produced in the mills of Manchester, England during the mid 18th century, it started to be woven into checked or plaid patterns. More often than not...in blue and white. Ever since...it has lingered on... fading in and fading out. Well....it's back.
As always, look to see what's on the runway. Here are some of the gingham looks by Christopher Kane for Spring/Summer 2010.
