The fashion industry contributed as much as £32.3 billion to the UK economy in 2017 according to data published by the British Fashion Council. This exciting industry is growing rapidly and continues to be a major UK employer, meaning that talented fashion designers are very much in demand. Consumers are also becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of fashion and there is mounting pressure on the industry to prioritise sustainable materials, fabrics and working practices. Skilled fashion designers with an eye for detail and an interest in the issues facing the industry are now needed more than ever before.
