Sir Sean Connery tartan tribute to be showcased at Dressed To Kilt in New York

A tartan tribute to late James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery will be debuted this weekend at the Dressed to Kilt fashion show in new York.

Following a coronavirus-related hiatus last year , the event will now be held at Long Island's Mill Neck Manor on Saturday evening.

During the show, which was originally co-founded by Connery, he will be honoured with a new tartan specially designed for the actor with input from his family.

Sir Sean's fellow Dressed to Kilt co-founder Dr Geoffrey Scott Carroll arranged the plan for the kilt which is produced by Glenisla Kilts with a bespoke coat and dress designed by Totty Rocks of Edinburgh.

The kilt's debut will be modelled on the runway by Sir Sean's granddaughters, Natasha and Samara Connery.

Scottish tartan designer Mark Gibson helped work on the look with his wife Lady Micheline Connery, son Stephane Connery and his granddaughters.

The show, which raises funds for the Navy SEAL Foundation, will also be livestreamed around the world with tickets still available at http://www.dressedtokilt.com.
