One of a handful of brands that have a truly iconic heritage that is worth cherishing, Lyle and Scott have been at the forefront of classic, instantly recognizable style singe 1874.
From humble beginnings in Hawick in the Scottish borders, the little known brand became an international phenomenon with the help of key collaborations with some of the biggest names in fashion. With everyone from Chanel to Dior and even Michael Kors clamouring to work alongside the Lyle and Scott label, the brands name became known around the world.
Later fashion movements became key to Lyle and Scott, as they played vital roles in the wardrobes of everybody from the modernists to the casuals, as well as taking huge leaps forward thanks to their involvement on the world of golf.
With a Lyle & Scott golf range being launched in the 60’s, the small Scottish brand truly sealed its fate as a super power in fashion, with some of the most talented golfers at the time, as well as some of the world’s most famous golf fans all starting to wear Lyle & Scott clothing. It was in this very era that the brands most iconic of emblems was born- the eagle, a golfing term coined to refer to a score of two under par, was turned golden and began to crest nearly every piece of Lyle & Scott design.
Since its inception, the Lyle & Scott golden eagle has become a mark of quality, distinction and the modern classics that make the brand so famous. Now featured on the brands vintage collection, the eagle is the representation of a proud moment in this illustrious brands history.
This season sees the continuation of Lyle & Scott’s mission to deliver only the very best in timeless note worthy style, as they dip into their archives to bring back a truly iconic style that they themselves set in motion back in the 1980’s.
With a striking retro aesthetic, the latest Spring/Summer 2014 collection from Lyle & Scott pays homage to their sought after ‘colour block’ that featured on a Lyle & Scott pullover sweater some 30 years ago. Now re-imagined to provide an awesome heritage inspired retro feel to the polo shirt, ‘colour block’ is back and better than ever, coming in 3 different colour options, all decorated with one of the most iconic of labels- the Lyle & Scott golden eagle.
