About Scotland Re:Design
SR:D is a national social enterprise dedicated to championing Scotland's fashion and textile sector through heritage, sustainability, innovation and creative collaboration.
Our mission is to create opportunities for designers, makers, students, creative businesses and communities by developing projects, festivals, exhibitions, research and partnerships that celebrate Scotland's rich creative heritage while shaping a more resilient and sustainable future for the industry.
Today, SR:D works across fashion, textiles and craft to support creative talent, promote circular design, preserve traditional skills and showcase Scottish design to audiences at home and abroad. Through collaboration with cultural organisations, charities, educational institutions and industry partners, we use fashion as a catalyst for cultural, social and environmental change.
Our Story
SR:D traces its roots back to 2005, when the Glasgow Design Collective was established to support emerging creative talent and connect Scottish designers with national and international opportunities.
Working alongside partners including The Herald, SWG3 and Glasgow School of Art, the initiative helped an annual cohort of designers gain invaluable experience through trade shows, exhibitions, runway events and collaborative projects. It also pioneered a creative approach to sponsorship and partnership working, delivering exhibitions, retail events, product collaborations and public programmes that showcased Scotland's creative industries.
As the organisation grew, so did its ambition. In 2012, the project evolved into Scotland Re:Design, expanding from its Glasgow origins into a national platform supporting Scotland's fashion, textiles and interiors sectors.
Over the past two decades, SR:D has delivered exhibitions, festivals, pop-up retail experiences, runway shows, showcases, learning programmes and business development opportunities, supporting hundreds of designers, makers and creative businesses.
Our work has taken Scottish fashion to audiences across the UK and internationally, with showcases and collaborations spanning New York, Chicago, Paris, Hong Kong and London, while continuing to champion Scotland's exceptional creative talent closer to home.
Throughout our journey, we have worked alongside an extraordinary network of designers, artists, photographers, makers, cultural organisations, educational institutions and industry partners who have helped shape Scotland's contemporary fashion landscape.
SR:D is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) (SC609172), operating as a not-for-profit social enterprise. We work collaboratively with partners across Scotland and beyond to deliver projects that create lasting cultural, social and environmental impact.
