The Fashion industry hires 880 000 people making it the fourth highest employer of EU nationals within the creative industry (Grace Cook, 2017 ).

Almost 500 designers were contacted, 290 responded. With 90% in favour of Remain, 4.3% for Brexit, 2.4% undecided and 2.8% that stated they wouldn’t vote, these results sent a clear message .

On the 29th of March 2017, Theresa May, finally signed the letter invoking Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon – meaning the decision to withdraw UK from the EU. What effects could the Brexit have on the Fashion industry in the UK? A. Devaluation of the Pound 1. Cost of manufacture This concerns brands as well as manufacturers.

The clothing manufacturing abilities and skills are really advanced and are still fairly cheaper than the United States fashion labels. With China’s production cost now starting to go up, American brands are starting to investigate other possibilities such as Vietnam, India, Indonesia and the United States also. Companies do offshore production because they believe that it is cheaper to make things in poorer countries. They feel that if you want lower prices you go overseas were they use cheap labor and if you want garments made of better quality, you should stay in the United States. But this is not entirely true, there’s certain kinds of clothing that are made in the U.S. of good quality at a very reasonable price and there’s other clothing that’s not.
Competition to the Tory Burch product line is most likely to come from designers of existing brands. Not only are they more likely to understand the consumers’ tastes, styles and aesthetic preferences, but they also have the required infrastructure and suppliers to produce high quality garments and accessories.

When it was time to pick what High school I'm going me and my mom got in argument. I want to go to Hayward high and she wants me to go to Mt.eden. Well the problem here is that Hayward high is far and Mt.eden is closer to my house. But my mom doesn't realize that Hayward high is a better High school. Is better at teaching and learning as a student. Mt.eden can be closer but later on it's not going to care if it was close or far. Is going to care what I learn and how was I teach.

Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel once stated, “No human race is superior; no religious faith inferior. All collective judgements are wrong. Only racists make them.” Imagine being discriminated against for something you couldn’t control; like the way you look or talk, what you believe in or the way you live, how would that make you feel? Now imagine being dehumanized for that something you can’t change. It may sound preposterous, but during the holocaust that’s precisely what happened. The dehumanization of the Jewish midst the Holocaust is vital to learn about because it enlightens us on the unfair bigotry, ghastly living conditions, and how the Jewish had their identity stripped away.
There have been and still are hundreds of fashion designers in the world. But only a few of them have had any major impact on fashion industry today. And even fewer have revolutionised the fashion industry completely. One of these revolutionaries is the renowned Christian Dior.

And how these were a direct representation of 1945-1950 France.
