Designer Rebecca Torres (pictured above) will compare and contrast with her views on Glasgow as a city for building a design business. Specialising in the use of luxurious sports led fabrics, Rebecca is renowned for her ability to accentuate and empower the female form creating garments featuring enhanced fit, stretch and comfort.
