Edinburgh fashion expert Lynne Coleman launches podcast on all things luxury in Scotland

Scotland's leading fashion expert Lynne Coleman has launched a brand new podcast based on her book ‘Cashmere: a guide to Scottish luxury’.

Lynne - alongside her friend and former colleague Gill Brown - discuss the components of what makes Scottish textiles so special, why it’s loved by people all around the globe, and why every design house has a Scottish mill in their little black book.

Lynne has the largest personal archive of tartan IN THE WORLD, having worked with brands such as Burberry, Chanel and Céline, while Gill has produced award-winning network TV for the likes of the BBC and Channel 4.

To receive one WhatsApp message a day with Edinburgh Live's headlines, as well as breaking news alerts, text NEWS to 07899067815. Then add the number to your contacts as 'Edinburgh Live'.

The pair broaden out the word luxury, what it means, and expand that into time: the time it takes to become an artisan, saving to buy something you’ll keep forever and the memories attached to clothing you have loved and lived in.

From all things cashmere and the history of tartan to the impact coronavirus has had on the fashion industry, Lynne and Gill leave no stone in Scotland luxury unturned.
