Can you take the London out of London Fashion Week?
News Source : BBC News
News Summary
- Fashion Britain is the British Fashion Council's initiative to open up access to talent outside of London.
- The council told BBC Newsbeat it has been working with LFW on a series of pop-up events in England, Wales and Scotland.
- Northern Ireland wasn't included as a location for this year's initiative - but will be included next year.
- A recent House of Commons report found that more than half (51%) of the creative industries' economic output was generated in London in 2022.
- But it did report that there are "clusters of creative industries" across the country, which included cities like Manchester and Leeds.
The curtain might have fallen on London Fashion Week (LFW) but bosses hope the runway of the future will start to look a bit different.
