George IV, in full Highland dress made from the <em>Royal Stewart,<\/em> created the real tartan craze. Royal endorsement continued when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert\u2019s estate Balmoral Castle was dressed from top to toe in tartan &#8211; <em>Royal Stewart<\/em> and the <em>Hunting Stewart<\/em> tartans for carpets.<\/p>\n<p>Tartan\u2019s association with the establishment made this fabric fodder for a younger generation to voice its discontent against modern society. In the late 1970&#8217;s, the unorthodox use of tartan by likes of Vivienne Westwood saw it indelibly linked with punk. This traditional fabric suddenly became a strong\u00a0symbol of rebellion.<\/p>\n<p>Stella McCartney loves tartan because it plays colour and scale, \u2018combining a nod to tomboy sensitivity and British tradition.\u2019 It is this diverse image that makes it so alluring &#8211; think the matronly Miss Jean Brodie in calf-length skirts and the subversive Sid Vicious in bondage trousers. It&#8217;s funky and traditional, elegant and anarchic.\u2019Or in other words Alternative!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<em>Tartan is wonderfully unisex, as well as cosy and stylish<\/em>,\u2019 says decorator Nina Campbell. <em>\u2018It really is a great British classic, up there with paisley and chintz.\u2019<\/em> When she used tartan for a bar in New York\u2019s Grand Central Station, she brightened the colours to hot pinks and gorse yellows.<\/p>\n<p>Anta\u2019s tartans start with the classic sett but sometimes have wild colour combinations. Owner Annie Stewart loves the inexhaustible potential of tartan. \u2018<em>Tartan includes a lot of colour but in an ordered way. If you used the same number of colours in a print it would look riotous \u2013 but with a tartan it\u2019s more structured.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the many reasons why this pattern works wonders for flooring.
