|
| British fashion is synonymous across
the world with the colourful designs of the 1960s;the PVC raincoat,
hot-pants, mini-skirts and the slip-dress created by the hippest
designer of them all, Mary Quant. This revolutionary new style
brought a fresh confidence and fashion awareness to post-war
Britain's youth and began the UK's development as a hothouse
for innovative fashion design. |
|
| Today British designers continue
to walk tall on the international catwalk and have gained worldwide
acclaim for clothes that cross cultures, capture eras and combine
their own unique style with a nod to the great designers of
the past. |
|
| Showing collections of great originality
and craftsmanship, British designers are recognised as having
the best fashion training in the world. Propelled from their
student graduation shows to the top fashion houses in London,
Paris, Milan and New York, they have produced work that is both
classic and avant-garde. As renowned for bold and exciting design
as for contemporary glamour and fine tailoring, we meet some
of the UK's design geniuses. |
