There is a new campaign called SOS. Drapers even have a whole section dedicated with it in their bookmark bar. So it really is just about promoting the people who actually make the clothes. It seems it's not a very 'cool' job to have and there is a huge gap in the market. Great for me as a seamstress! But not so good for, well, just the UK in general. In the 1960s our textile industry was booming. Hopefully we can get it back to that stage. Loads of important people are getting on board though. Burberry are offering internships, Clarks shoes are bringing manufacture back. Sir Phillip Green is talking about doing the same which would be amazing as he owns Arcadia. Even Sir Alan Sugar is on about creating incubator factories. All of which is incredibly exciting for me! And the industry of course.
