Dundee’s title as the UK’s first UNESCO City of Design was launched today (Friday 30 January) by the Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Europe and External Affairs. Fiona Hyslop met designers including architect Kirsty Maguire, fashion designer Hayley Scanlan, game designers Guerilla Tea and jeweller Jane Gowans as part of a three-day celebration of the city’s design strengths. The launch involves showcasing Dundee’s designers to the public and asking everyone in Dundee what the UNESCO City of Design status should mean to them – and how design can be used to improve their lives.
