Scottish tartan: the rebellious print of rock and punk

Once tied to Celtic traditions, the Scottish tartan became a provocative symbol in the 1970s, adopted by the punk movement and later by the alternative rock scene. From plaid trousers to mini-skirts and grunge shirts, this bold pattern has become a true counterculture statement that still inspires fans today.

A strong symbol of punk and rock culture

From the London scene of the Sex Pistols to the rebellious anthems of The Clash, tartan has become an unmistakable statement piece. Closely linked to the punk attitude, it embodies rebellion and nonconformity with an instantly recognizable style.
