Fashion as an industrie

Fashion is important. It is essential for the economy, for society and for all of us. What we wear tells, above all else, who we are or who we would like to be.
However, the fashion industry is too often seen as frivolous, useless and ephemeral. Many do not understand its importance and significance.

Fashion is more than an individual matter

Globally, the value of the fashion industry is estimated at $3 trillion. In the UK economy, fashion is worth £26 billion. It is the second most important economic activity internationally in terms of trade intensity.
