2010 Dressed to Kilt
04/05/2010 - By M2

2010 Dressed to Kilt

Sir Sean and Lady Connery hosted the eighth 2010 Dressed to Kilt event, celebrating Scottish culture with a spirited fashion show at M2 Ultra Lounge in New York City.

The theme of the evening was Mad for Scotland, celebrating eccentric style and individuality. The unique show celebrated all aspects of Caledonian culture and showcased a range of fashions, from traditional Highland kilts and cutting-edge fashions from Scotland’s finest young talent to world-renowned designer looks and haute couture.

In a bittersweet gesture, the 2010 Dressed to Kilt show was dedicated in the honor and memory of the late Alexander McQueen, who himself was a native of Scotland and took great pride in his heritage. The show featured a touching tribute to the designer who when asked what his Scottish roots meant to him in 2004, simply replied, “everything.” The evening also included a surprise performance from Canadian musical group Bowfire.

Proceeds from the evening benefited the Paralyzed Veterans of America and its Scottish equivalent, the Erskine Hospital, along with the Wounded Warrior Project through Friends of Scotland, an organization founded by Sir Sean Connery.

The 2010 Dressed to Kilt event featured runway appearances by Mike Myers (actor), Katherine Brown (reigning Miss Scotland), Stephanie Willemse (former Miss Scotland), Al Roker (TODAY Show Host), Shani Davis (Olympic Gold Medalist in speed skating), Dan Nevins, Dawn Halfaker and Ryan Kules (representing the Wounded Warrior Project), Mark Connolly (representing the Erskine Hospital in Scotland), Kelly Bensimon (Real Housewives of New York City), Bowfire (Canadian musical group), Thom Evans (Scottish rugby star), Sam Waterston (actor), Joan Jett (rock icon), Donald Trump, Jr. (entrepreneur), Kellie Pickler (American Idol), Eve Muirhead (Olympic silver medalist in curling), Marcus Schenkenberg (model), Kyle McLachlan (actor), Matthew Modine (Broadway star) and Alan Cumming (actor). Among the judges for the viewing were noted fashion photographer and America’s Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker and stylist and fashion guru Robert Verdi. Donald and Melania Trump along with Vanessa Trump supported Donald Trump, Jr. in his runway debut from Sean Connery’s private VIP area.
