Our proudest achievements

Channel 4, ‘The Wedding House’ 14 September 2010 8pm

Skilt was delighted to provide a kilt Alan & Yvonne’s dream wedding.

The idea behind the show is to take the hassle out of getting hitched by creating a one-stop wedding shop for couples looking to get married in exactly the way they want. Teenagers or pensioners, themed ceremonies or whacky weddings, civil partnerships or vow renewals, as long as it’s legal, anything will go at Wedding House. It promises to be a very fresh approach to a popular subject and a true celebration of contemporary love and relationships.

2-BOB – 30 January 2010

We are proud to sponsor a Burns night event with a difference … a JOINT celebration of two of the worlds greatest poets, separated by Time and Tide, Bob Burns 25th January and Bob Marley 6th February, – Uniting Two Nations, Two Cultures, One People through Food, Drink, Prose, Verse and Music in an event to raise money for a new educational exchange project to break down historical barriers between cultures and provide the new generation the opportunity to grow together with first-hand educated understanding of their respective histories, traditions and lifestyles in different parts of the world, in order for them to unite in their similarities and become fuller in their appreciation of their differences.

The Event is to take place on Saturday 30th January at Anda de Bridge Carribean Restaurant and Club/Bar in Shoreditch. It’s a London Venue steeped in the very history that the event epitomises … the story of a friendship between two men of different colour, from different cultures, countries, who were united without prejudice to work together to show their children that the colour of their skin is not something to separate them or hold them back in the pursuit of their dreams.

As you very well know, no gentleman with self respect will be caught out in the early mornings of 2010 witout a kilt on and your favourite place for such a purchase, is of course Skilt – the UK Nr: 1 in cool designer kilts!”

And we did a fashion show!


Tate Modern, ‘Rob Pruitt’s Flea Market’ – 12 December 2009

We were pleased to be chosen to exibit in a festive reprise of Rob Pruitt’s Christmas and Kwanzaa (an African-American festival) version of the ‘Flea Market’ event, programmed to coincide with the exhibition Pop Life: Art in a Material World, in which Pruitt also appears.

Originally held at Gavin Brown’s Passerby gallery in New York in the late 1990s, then featuring artist peers including Elizabeth Peyton, Piotr Uklanski and Rikrit Tiravanija, Pruitt’s Flea Market is a playful take on a curated group exhibition cum entrepreneurial initiative.

For Tate Modern, Pruitt has worked with a new selection of London-based artists, plus some of the original participants, to set up market stalls with everything from artists editions to old 12″s, in a seasonal flavour.
