Fashion is a means of self-expression that allows people to try on many roles in life. Whether you prefer high street-sleek or Chanel-chic, fashion accommodates the chameleon in all of us. It’s a way of celebrating the diversity and variety of the world in which we live. The industry has a global appeal - according to the British Fashion Council in 2018 it contributed £32 billion to the economy and supported almost 900,000 UK jobs.

Creative Industries

The UK fashion industry is one of the most innovative in the world. Its originality and relentless energy has helped to earn its place as one of the UK’s most successful industries and is recognised for its excellent craftmanship globally.

Roles within the fashion industry span from everything from fashion and textile design, brand management, fashion photography, fashion styling, accessories to public relations and marketing.

Fashion is evolving, and continually building on its traditional routes to progress developments with the technology sector. It's working with the vast skills sets in the creative industries to create innovations supporting the future of fashion and sustainability.

There is so much cross over between each of the different disciplines in fashion, it's almost like working in a sort of arena for art and design, which is wonderful!”
