A new fashion company founded by three sisters is celebrating a sponsorship deal with Harris Tweed Hebrides.
K'outure Ltd, formed less than a year ago in Grantown-on-Spey near Aviemore, is the brainchild of Harriet, 27, Matilda, 26, and Jemima Kirkwood, 24.
The sisters are all graduates of Edinburgh College of Art's performance costume department.
Johnston's of Elgin and Knockando Woolmill have also sponsored the firm.
Harriet said: "For a young company to receive the support of such iconic Scottish manufacturers so early on in its development is hugely exciting and we hope it is testament to the garments that K'outure are producing."
Their firm blends contemporary design with traditional fabrics, with the first collection called K'osy for K'outure. The sisters say they aim to make weirdness wearable with their unique designs.
Jemima said: "Having been trained in performance costume we take the odd, weird and sometimes downright baffling from our costume design work and prune it back to reveal the everyday and wearable, with some theatrical flair.
"We feel that our costume background equips us with the scope and vision to see further than the ever-changing trends of fashion, a challenge we relish every day."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
