This latest collection of 2012 has recreated the look that Pringle brand is known for, the archived look and the graffiti layers, that too with a twist. All the earth tones have been used. The collection mainly featured burgundy and tan coloured twin sets with a twisted decorated design on front. The collars and seams are also twisted. The sweaters were presented in a classic Scottish argyle, which were dazzled with acid colour crystals. The classic construction and clean tailoring of the brand has been followed in this collection also. But, may be the graffiti prints are somewhat different for which the brand has created its niche in the market.
The clothes give out the featured masculine and strong look i.e. in triple set: a chunky cashmere sweater, a coat paired with thin legged socks. In this collection more of a series of black and burgundy dresses are made that are long and are very feminine.
The shoes have been designed by Carr in collaboration with shoe designer Chrissie Morris. They both have given a different look by layering them with leather panels that can also be pulled off.
The pants have been given the graffiti print. The idea of which has been taken from an image the designer snapped at Paris street art. The designer wanted to give a twisted look to the archived classic knit pieces, so he did, as he told about his latest offerings in an interview to style.com. He said, "I looked at the classic knit pieces in the archive and wanted to twist things up a bit.” Carr replaced the classic twinset with a triplet set: a coat ,a sweater and a sleek trouser. The seams and sweaters have literally been given a twist in Pringle, they have been amplified by colored crystals.
