From the Islands to the Borders and the Lowlands to the Highlands, she will meet makers, designers, wearers and influencers, including actor Alan Cumming, designers Pam Hogg and Tammy and Christopher Kane, author Justine Picardie and more.<\/p>\n<p><em>Icons of Style<\/em> follows on from the success of <em>The Years That Changed Modern Scotland<\/em> and <em>The Women Who Changed Modern Scotland<\/em>, both also hosted by Wark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFashion continues to be one of Scotland\u2019s most prestigious and distinctive exports,\u201d Wark said. \u201cFrom its roots in medieval Scotland, with its links to Europe, to France in particular, to its popularity in Georgian Britain, to some of the best, most captivating contemporary designers in the world, its influence is global. It\u2019s a story of style that spans social, cultural and political landscapes, and I\u2019m thrilled to have the opportunity to stitch it all together for BBC Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe story of fashion in Scotland is rich, complex and iconic, and Kirsty brings her own very personal passion to the series,\u201d said Bianca Barker, executive producer for Two Rivers Media. \u201cHer previous two social history series on the channel have done exceptionally well on iPlayer, demonstrating how stories about our shared heritage resonate with us all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony Nellany, channel manager and commissioning executive at BBC Scotland, added, \u201cThe series will take the audiences on a hugely enjoyable journey through the history of a creative industry which began in Scotland\u2019s distant past and has developed remarkably through the ages. Kirsty will be the ideal companion as the programs weave their way through the big moments, trends and personalities of Scotland\u2019s fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Rivers Media has been commissioned to produce Icons of Style, hosted by Kirsty Wark (Newsnight), by BBC Scotland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":22274,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[714,10229,10230,10231,4011],"class_list":["post-22273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-scotland","tag-bianca-barker","tag-kirsty-wark","tag-tony-nellany","tag-two-rivers-media","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BBC Scotland Commissions New Kirsty Wark Series - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-scotland-commissions-new-kirsty-wark-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BBC Scotland Commissions New Kirsty Wark Series - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Two Rivers Media has been commissioned to produce Icons of Style, hosted by Kirsty Wark (Newsnight), by BBC Scotland.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-scotland-commissions-new-kirsty-wark-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-11-15T15:48:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-11-15T15:48:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/11\/TwoRiversMedia-IconsofStyle-1124.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-scotland-commissions-new-kirsty-wark-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-scotland-commissions-new-kirsty-wark-series\/\",\"name\":\"BBC Scotland Commissions New Kirsty Wark Series - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-11-15T15:48:17+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-11-15T15:48:22+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-scotland-commissions-new-kirsty-wark-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-scotland-commissions-new-kirsty-wark-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-scotland-commissions-new-kirsty-wark-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"BBC Scotland Commissions New Kirsty Wark Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
