Old School vir die Newe Skole
I’m ever so excited when a blast from fashion past hits the trends rail – season I bring you houndstooth, a beautiful fabric that made its way into the fashion in the early 30s. It was made popular by De Pinna, a New York based men’s and woman’s high end clothier founded in 1885. They included Houndstooth checks and Scotch plaids as part of its spring men's suit collection.

Now it’s 2012 and the fabric has been incorporated into the new fashion era by brands like House of Holland in their Fall 2012 collection: Get On Your Houndstooth and ‘Ride It’. Even Kim Kardashian has fallen under the Houndstooth spell...
