Designer Sara Freegard explains that her inspiration came from punk fashion - fusion metal trend. The idea was to create a tartan that was both classic and cool: "I wanted to celebrate the cool, sexy, edgy and dark shades of Depeche Mode combined with the punk rock ethos." She then called on Sir Tom Baker for the cut and tartan maker Kirsty McDougall of Dashing tweeds to make the suit. She says of the choice of materials, "We used leather and silver lurex inlaid with black thread and Klein blue to achieve an exceptionally high quality glossy finish, a vibrant neon blue. The addition of a reflective weave allowed for a theatrical effect as the suit reflected the stage lights."
