When will ‘Made in Britain’ be back in fashion?
On the eve of this year’s London Fashion Week (18-22 September) British Fashion House, David Nieper, asks the fashion industry ‘When will ‘Made in Britain’ be back in fashion? Decades of offshore fashion manufacturing has shrunk the UK fashion industry beyond recognition since its heyday in the sixties and seventies, although today there are signs of revival in fashion and textile manufacturing. Derbyshire based, fashion house David Nieper calls for more designers to support the industry and bring more manufacturing back to the UK. According to the Alliance report* the gradual repatriation of fashion companies moving their manufacturing back to the UK is resulting in welcome industry growth, however the majority of UK fashion labels still manufacture overseas. David Nieper is a family run business set up in 1961 to create luxury ‘Made in Britain’ clothes, all collections are designed, and manufactured in Derbyshire. Each and every garment made is cut, stitched, packaged and personally hand signed by the person that has made it. Read More
