Glasgow-born designer Christopher Kane has voiced support for the Better Together campaign in the indyref vote.
His statement came after he was named British designer of the year at the 2014 Elle Style Awards.
Kane, whose latest collection has been on show at London Fashion Week, said: "I think we're great united, stronger united, and that's it."
Talking about how his life has changed, he added: "People are always surprised I still have my Scottish accent. I'm very lucky, I have a great background and support."
Kane, 32, originally from Newarthill, is one of Scotland's top fashion designers. He has on course to open his first store this year in London's Mayfair. Last year French fashion giant Kering bought more than 50% of his business.
He is by no means the first Scottish celebrity name to put their head above the parapet and declare their opinion on Scottish independence. The Yes camp can count on support from Alan Cumming, Jack Vettriano, Irvine Welsh, Annie Lennox, and Kevin Bridges, while public opponents include Sir Alex Ferguson, Sharleen Spiteri, John Barrowman, Ewan McGregor, and Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream.
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
