Guest Judge for fashion competition - Greyfriars Tartan Fashion Show held at Grassmarket Community Project Cutting-edge tartan designs from around the world, submitted for the Greyfriars Tartan Design Competition earlier this year, were showcased at the event on Thursday 12 March from 6.00pm. The three judges, Natalie Kerr, RBS Head of Business Banking Marketing, Scottish fashion blogger and marketing expert Colin Gilchrist, and Mal Burkinshaw, Fashion Programme Director at Edinburgh University’s School of Design. The unique Greyfriars Tartan was designed by a member of Grassmarket Community Project, a social enterprise based in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket where vulnerable local people can be part of a community, develop new skills and self-confidence, and become more employable. The tartan is officially registered and used to teach members textiles skills which they then use to create a range of beautiful handmade products. The idea behind the tartan design competition was to encourage designers from all over the world to re-discover, re-imagine and re-connect with tartan, and it has seen designs submitted from Indonesia (Jakarta) and India as well as England, Wales and Scotland.| Period | 12 Mar 2015 |
