(Backpacking) UK clothing- a blend of the traditional and modern

By Jessica Thomson

  For centuries, London, the capital of the UK fashion industry, has been a favourite city for fashion lovers. This is because the cloth manufactured in the UK has its own unique character which has been made more exclusive by the English fashion designers. As compared to the United States and Italy, UK fashion designers have generally been averse to grandiose or loud designs.

New dimensions

Some of the English brands are quite famous in other parts of the world. On the other hand, the US and Italian brands have given new dimensions to apparel fashion. They have been quick to impress the fashion conscious. That is why; American and Italian brands have been able to make inroads in the UK. Although UK apparel industry continues to grow, American brands are steadily finding favour with the British consumers. The twin reasons for the popularity of American brands are fresher and bolder designs which have a greater appeal for the young generation as well as there are more competitive on pricing.

Shift in fashion styles

However, some of the UK brands like Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, All Saints, John Lewis, Next, River Island, have strong presence around the world.

Last few decades have witnessed a sort of influx of foreign designers in the UK which has considerably influenced the new fashion trends. These designers have had a very desirable impact on the UK clothing. It is because of their influence that there has been a steady shift in fashion styles which are now more innovative and unconventional. They have been able to judiciously blend traditional styles with modern techniques. The British designs now command greater acceptance and respect in other continents. No wonder, London now attracts a lot more fashion conscious people than it used to earlier. This has resulted in further strengthening of the brand apparel UK and given a fillip to the country’s exports. Some of the most distinguished UK fashion designers are Burberry, John Galliano, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Paul Smith.

However a large majority of people which includes aristocrats, tycoons and business executives still vouch for the typical British clothing and tailoring. Those looking for exclusive formal wear continue to be loyal to the traditional British fashion style.

The UK apparel industry has witnessed 17% annual growth. But the growth in the women’s sector at 25% has been the highest. The way the UK fashion industry is growing in stature and size, the brands from UK are all set to run neck and neck with brands of international fame.
