Children of the Mist

Jeffrey MacGregor

My collection, Children of the Mist, explores ancestral trauma through couture, focusing on the MacGregor clan’s exile after 1603. After the Battle of Glen Fruin, the MacGregor name was outlawed, turning a lineage into fugitives. I translate this history of grief into garments that embody the tension of survival. I use MacGregor Hunting Tartan to highlight the irony of the hunted wearing the hunter’s cloth. Tight tailoring and corsetry symbolize the suffocating confinement of life as an outlaw, while exaggerated layers provide protective armour. By blending 17th-century mourning references with dark suiting and fragile lace, I manifest the weight of a forgotten narrative. This project reimagines the MacGregor legacy as a modern testament of endurance.

    ABOUT THE DESIGNER

    A young man with shaggy dark hair and a neutral expression sits casually on light brown wooden stairs, wearing a black and white raglan shirt, dark pants, gold chain necklaces, and a silver bracelet. He holds a black shoe with a yellow brush resting on it and a reddish-brown cloth, as if polishing shoes.
