    You never know these days. All it takes is one of the "popular at the minute" celebs to take to kilts. Than all the people that think Paris Hilton has something to offer the planet will be saying "kilts are great", buy a couple and wear them until the next "celeb of the second" decides parachute pants should come back. Than it's a fad. Our culture is very disposable and very Pop culture driven these days.

    Unfortunately the comtemporary styles of kilts run the risk of this more than the traditional style kilts, which have a BIG foot hold on formal, tradition events and as the National dress of Scotland. People of Scottish heritage will always look to the kilt, where as others may not. So while the Utilikilts, etc are able to appeal to a market bigger than just the Celtic heritage market, that may one day be the undoing of those firms. I hope to not see this, but anything is a possibility in t today's world.

    Even if kilts come and go as a fad, that has nothing to do with us.
