Second City Glasgow

Second City is a fashion design company run by Robbie Higney-Paterson creating small individual collections and is opening in Glasgow early in 2012. The company was formed to address issues of fast throwaway fashion, sustainability and to share in the process of design and the exquisite craft of couture techniques, which are now almost lost.

Second City is running workshops throughout the year and will be working towards an environment that will endeavour to nurture a fashion ‘think tank’.

Robbie, who will be teaching the courses, has a wealth of experience in the fashion industry and coordinating fashion courses in the UK at reputable colleges and universities.
