Rebecca (Gasparre) McGeoch – the designer

Rebecca McGeoch’s entry into the fashion world was a natural progression from her education at Sydney University, where her economics degree combined with a multitude of short courses in design provided the business and fashion drive and knowledge to launch Gasparre Cashmere.

Having spent her childhood back and forth between her hometown of Sydney, Australia and extended family in Italy, a young Rebecca developed her personal aesthetic based on a marriage of the two cultures: the casual beauty of Australia and the historical elegance of Italy. In combining the two style philosophies Gasparre Cashmere focuses on the trans-seasonal traits of the cashmere fibre and its ability to be worn year round.

Rebecca launched Gasparre Cashmere after travelling with a lightweight cashmere shawl during her Honeymoon in Egypt, which helped her to realize cashmere’s ability to keep one cool during the day and warm at night. Since then Rebecca has found a niche within the Australian market for designing fashion forward cashmere garments. Gasparre Cashmere’s philosophy is all about a little bit of luxury for everyday life.
