The centre director of one of Glasgow's busiest shopping malls is to take part in a panel discussion on the future of retail.
Anne Ledgerwood, of the St Enoch Centre, will join Great British Sewing Bee judge Patrick Grant and former Top Shop creative director Jane Shepherdson CBE at the online event on June 24, run as part of Glasgow Caledonian University's annual Fashion Showcase.
The Future of Fashion panel discussion, organised in partnership with Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, will focus on sustainability and what a post-pandemic world looks like for the retail sector.
The first phase of the St Enoch Centre's £40million redevelopment opened earlier this month. An additional 100,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space will be added as part of the project.
GCU's Fashion Showcase, which is being streamed online for the first time due to coronavirus restrictions, has a sustainable fashion theme this year.
Video packages of the best student designs this year will showcase customised vintage clothing, outfits created from existing garments, and new products incorporating the world-famous Harris Tweed cloth.
The creative exhibition features projects carried out in association with Scottish brands, such as Johnstons of Elgin, Beira and Forty Clothing.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
