Licence to kilt: Sir Sean Connery’s granddaughters model his tartan
Natasha and Samara Connery attend the Dressed to Kilt charity fashion show in New York at the weekend modelling a tartan created in honour of their grandfather Sir Sean Connery – the Edinburgh-born James Bond star was one of the the co-founders of the event in 2003
A new Sir Sean Connery tartan in tribute to the late James Bond actor was unveiled weekend at the Dressed to Kilt fashion show in New York.
The popular event returned at Long Island’s Mill Neck Manor on Saturday night after a coronavirus-related hiatus last year.
The show, which was originally co-founded by Connery, honoured the star with a new tartan specially designed for him with input from his family.
His fellow Dressed to Kilt co-founder Dr Geoffrey Scott Carroll arranged the plan for the kilt which is produced by Glenisla Kilts with a bespoke coat and dress designed by Totty Rocks of Edinburgh.
Dr Carroll said: “Sir Sean was one of the co-founders of the Dressed to Kilt show in 2003 and without his personal support and involvement throughout the years, the show would not have achieved the enormous success that it has.”
The kilt’s debut was modelled by Sir Sean’s granddaughters, Natasha and Samara Connery.
