Kirsty Wark explores how iconic Scottish designers, celebrities and influencers have helped to shape Scottish style and the global fashion industry over the last 60 years. From the island of Shetland to Selkirk in the Scottish Borders, Kirsty travels across Scotland to meet some of the key players in fashion. With expert opinion from fashion and textile design consultant Sheila-Mary Carruthers and author Lynne Coleman, Kirsty is on a mission to find out why the world has a keen eye on Scotland.

In Glasgow, Kirsty meets Shirley Open, a child of the 60s. In 1960, Shirley was 13 years old and part of the teenage movement experiencing Youthquake, a revolution in music and fashion. She recalls how clothing changed because of the new style of dancing, and how teens partied after the austerity of growing up in postwar Scotland. In archive interview, Lulu - one of most influential pop stars of the day - reveals her most coveted fashion accessory: bags! Lulu was an icon for the teen movement, not just in Scotland but across the world. At the age of 15, she burst into the charts with a look and style that most teenagers longed to achieve.

However, it wasn鈥檛 just the 1960s, as teenagers across all decades describe their sense of style in their formative years - actor and presenter Alan Cumming, supermodel Eunice Olumide, Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri and drag queen Ellie Diamond all share memories of their early fashion choices.

At the V&A Dundee, fashion historian and curator Kirsty Hassard selects Bernat Klein as her key designer of the 1960s. Working with the French fashion houses and Marks and Spencer on the high street, Klein鈥檚 designs were for everyone. Kirsty visits the iconic designer鈥檚 former home and workplace in the Scottish Borders that inspired his designs, drawing on his love of nature.

In the Highlands, former islander Effie Ferguson describes her early life growing up on the Isle of Lewis, and how Harris tweed was made and worn by all of the islanders when working on their crofts. Justine Picardie - author of Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life - reveals how the iconic French designer Coco Channel would later take inspiration from the workwear of crofters and ghillies, transforming Scottish tweed to haute couture.

The 1970s were a time of love, peace and protest songs. Former New Seekers singer Eve Graham recounts how she and the band were dressed by some of the top designers as they toured the world and performed on TV. Fashion historian Kirsty Hassard selects Bill Gibb as her iconic designer of the 1970s. In archive interview with Gibb, we learn how and why he ended up in fashion, and uncover some of his fantastical drawings and designs.

Of course, not everyone could afford couture, and for many, mail order catalogues made fashion accessible and affordable. Alan Cumming shares fond memories of catalogue shopping, and cites them as his first encounter with modelling. By the mid 1970s, the Bay City Rollers and tartan mania were taking the world by storm. As we learn about the diversity of the classic Scottish fabric, Kirsty meets Dawn Robson-Bell, of Lochcarron of Scotland tartan mill, to discover how tartan is made and used today. The heritage cloth has come a long way since the days of the Rollers, punk and Vivienne Westwood.

As we move into the 1980s, a new wave of music and a new style of influencer emerges. Annie Lennox bucked gender stereotypes with her iconic look and later dragged up as Elvis at the Grammy Awards. This look was recreated by Sharleen Spiteri, prompting a discussion on gender fluidity in clothing. Kirsty Hassard selects iconic Scottish designer Pam Hogg as her choice of the 1980s, before Kirsty Wark catches up with Pam in her design studio in London. Kirsty learns about Pam鈥檚 extensive career and how she was often punished at school for daydreaming - which led to one of her biggest collections at London Fashion Week.
