Effects Of The Brexit On The Fashion Industry In The UK

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. He reestablished Paris as the centre of the fashion world, and created his name as a symbol of elegance, quality, and modernity. I will be looking into how Dior’s context informed his practice, by using three of his most iconic and popular designs; The Bar Suit, Venus Dress and the Cygne Noir dress. And how these were a direct representation of 1945-1950 France.

2a. Consumers would certainly see a hike in prices on the imported product and in turn could affect the consumer’s ability to afford neither the domestic made clothing nor foreign made clothing.

The decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union has served in reshaping the way politics works in Europe. On June 3rd, 2016 a massive 30 million people came out to vote on the future of their countries. In the end, the vote to leave won 51.9% to 48.1%. Places like England and Wales both voted in favor of the exit, while Scotland and Northern Ireland voted overwhelmingly to stay in. While the long term effects of this decision obviously need time to be observed, the immediate economic impact has been somewhat mixed. The day after the vote was a cause for concern in that “the pound slumped after the referendum - and remains around 10% lower against the dollar and 15% down against the euro” (Wheeler 17). In contrast to this,

The public was bombarded with warnings about how they would be poorer if they voted to leave the EU but, in the end they weren’t convinced by what they were told and/or believed it was a risk worth taking . For the Confederation of British Industry, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, there was an alphabet soup of experts lined up to say economic growth would be hobbled, unemployment would go up, the pound would plummet and British business would be left in a no man’s land outside the EU . Overall, since UK left the EU they will be able to profit more and help their people to get out of unemployment and rebuild their country.

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. However, given the current unfavorable economic conditions in the United States, it is not likely that the larger, more established brands will expand their product lines in these times. The risk of financial loss outweighs the possibility of a

WW2 is a fascinating time of fashion and politics. The fashion of the era was truly representative of the events happening in the world in a most visible way. As fashion moved from idealistic to utilitarian, so did the women taking over men in the workforce. The war caused a remarkable progression on the transgression from pre to post-war fashion. Even after clothing rationing, the women would not let the limitations imposed by WW2 stop them from fighting for their country from their home ground. From the less than ideal conditions creativity and ingenuity sparked this led to the invention of new clothes from the old, and the development of innovative new designs.

To begin with, I love all types of garments especially the fitty garments. There are many other fabrics besides cotton and polyester that I like too. For an example, silk fabric and linen fabric. My favorite store for my style/ garments is Madrag, Charlotte Russe, and sometimes Rue 21. Based on my favorite stores their target market is for very fashionable female customers and ages 18-40.

Consumers have the potential to influence the fashion trends, but also the prices of their products because there are many alternative brands from which they can choose, pressuring them to innovate and reduce prices. This means that the consumers’ bargaining power is very high.

The “Great Recession” is commonly used to explain the massive economic contraction that occurred in the United States during the fourth quarter of 2007. However, the actions of the United States spanned to other nations, leaving massive effect on the global economy. One nation that took on serious financial burden during this recession was the United Kingdom. This nation first faced the effects of the Great Recession beginning in the first quarter of 2008. Overall, the initial mass effects on the nation can be attributed to the nation’s reliance on the financial sector. In fact, after partially stabilizing in 2009, the country struggled with a double-dip recession between 2010-12, and continues to struggle with some of these effects.

Manufacturers source the best fabrics available at low cost to make into garments. U.S. textile and apparel imports increased from $10 billion in 1982 to $96 billion in 2006. This corresponds to the enormous growth of the textile industries of China, Korea, Taiwan, and India. One reason for this is that U.S. manufacturers contracting production overseas tend to use fabrics from

Brexit is a term commonly known as Britain exiting from European Union membership. The historic referendum on the UK and EU membership held on June 23, 2016. Although majority of Londoner wanted to stay with EU, 52 percent voters voted to support the leave campaign to leave European Union. Since World War two the world saw a rising trend of economic development and globalization in Europe. Brexit has ended this trend. Since United

The UK manufacturing industry is the fifth largest in the world [1] and it is a significant contributor to the UK’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As examples, the UK aerospace and defence industry is the second largest in the world, accounting for $40bn of annual sales and the UK has the third largest automotive industry in Europe, with total sales of around £9bn (11% of the UK’s total exports) [2].

It is precise that we begin by explaining the meaning of the term “Brexit”; it is a portmanteau of the words “Britain” and “Exit”, which was just one of the terms for the results of the 2016 referendum, the other one was “Bremain” (Britain and remain) which was a lot less promoted and controversial. For the 2016 referendum, 52% of the votes went for Britain leaving the European Union, in a poll with 72% of participation, a total of 33.577.342 votes, 17.410.742 for Brexit and 16.577.342 for Britain staying in the European Union (BBC World, 2016). England voted for Brexit, by 53.4% to 46.6%, as did Wales, with Leave getting 52.5% of the vote and Remain 47.5%. Scotland and Northern Ireland both backed staying in the EU. Scotland backed Remain by 62% to 38%, while 55.8% in Northern Ireland voted Remain and 44.2% Leave (Hunt and Wheeler, 2016).

In the 21st century, the fashion industry remains prominent as it continues to rise in an era of global trade. Developing in the late 19th and early 20th century, the fashion industry was on the rise with newer technologies that stimulated new manufacturing practices and further improved the growth of a soon to be “multibillion-dollar global enterprise” (Major). Fashion is a an art that conveys human expression through clothing, in which many individuals are willing to spend money on and experience whether upscale or simple. Therefore, parts of the fashion industry affect and influence the quantity and quality of clothing as shown by the many manufacturing processes of both the ready-to-wear and haute couture industries, the many types of commercial advertisements and media produced by the marketing branch, and by the profit margins of different companies within the fashion industry.
