Albeit, people are being led by their wallets – I am glad that in a back handed way that this is supporting the environment. Also, I hope that this will lead people to invest in quality items – I would rather spend the money that I have on a well manufactured, and structured garment that is timeless; than jump on every trend bandwagon going. Whilst, there is a market for shops such as Primark. The addage by it cheap, but it twice springs to mind… and not only will it affect our wallets in the long term, it is helping to destroy the earth.

I enjoyed watching Twiggy’s programme. It highlighted British innovation and ingenuity in the fashion industry. This country used to have a much larger fashion industry and traditional manufacturing skill base. I’m a fan of British design and British manufacture!
