[edit] Biography

Stuart studied Fashion Design at St Martin’s College under Jeff Banks, and has worked for DKNY, Jasper Conran, Romeo Gigli and J Crew.[1] From 2001 to 2005 he was the Head of Design at Pringle of Scotland. He is widely attributed with revitalising the company,[2] which had for years been associated purely with golf-wear. Part of his strategy to revitalise the brand was to reintroduce the twinset and Argyle motifs synonymous with the company's boom years.[3][4] He left the company in 2005 and joined luxury tie manufacturer Holliday & Brown. He is now working for French haute couture designer Jean Paul Gaultier. He designed Westlife's (now signature) matching white suits.
