You Aint Nothing But a Hound Dog

[the SEPTEMBER issue]

One of the biggest (and boldest) trends this fall is houndstooth. Originally popularized in Scotland, this classic pattern has crossed virtually every pond appearing in collections from Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney to Preen and Marc by Marc Jacobs. Designers have revamped the print using unusual color combinations and experimenting with scale to create a fresh dramatic take on the traditional fabric.
