“[This collection] was a shout against English designers . . .
doing flamboyant Scottish clothes. My father’s family originates
from the Isle of Skye, and I’d studied the history of the Scottish
upheavals and the Clearances. People were so unintelligent they
thought this was about women being raped—yet Highland Rape was
about England’s rape of Scotland.”
