Changing Fashions: A Look at the UK Fashion Industry

The UK high street fashion industry is worth an estimated £44.5 billion. In 1960 10% of household expenditure was spent on clothing and footwear. Today, thanks to discounted prices, lower production costs abroad and a flood of Chinese imports, only 6% of household expenditure is spent on keeping us fashionable. Encouragingly for the consumer, between 2001 and 2005 average clothing and footwear prices fell 14.4% whilst the cost of living has risen by 12.6%.
Discounting is rife in the ultra-competitive UK fashion market. Marks & Spencer remains the market leader in the sale of high street fashion, but faces fierce competition from discount fashion specialists such as Primark and TK Maxx. Increasingly, affluent younger consumers are buying formerly exclusive high fashion brands such as; Prada (Italy), Chloe (France), Hugo Boss (Germany), Burberry (UK) and Donna Karan (U.S) to mention but a few.
The rise of cheap imports has nearly wiped out UK manufacturing. These days UK manufacturing concentrates on specialist fashion clothing or luxury products, mostly made for wealthy consumer in other developed countries. A continued trend in the fashion industry is the integration of manufacturers and retailers. The top three fashion retailers in UK; Next, Marks & Spencer and Arcadia (Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, BHS etc.), are all manufacturing and retailing their own fashion brands. Exceptions to this vertical integration are the street fashion brands of Nike, Adidas and Reebok, who prefer specialist retailers.
To conclude, the UK fashion market will continue to be driven by retailers rather than manufacturers with a polarisation between discounters and full-price retailers. The full-price retailers will capitalise on young consumer demand for couture-house designs, quality materials and individual styles sold as “fast fashion” with items offered for a limited time before new styles are released. Forecasts to 2010 are for the women’s, girls and infants fashion market to grow by 23% with a 15.6% growth for the men’s and boys fashion market.

Living on a college student’s budget doesn’t mean your only option is to scour the bargain bin for last year’s leftovers. For the upcoming back-to-school season, online fashionistas have been scouring the Web for the latest styles and uncovered what fashions are sure to make it from the runway and into your closet this September.
For fall 2008, thousands of online shoppers on sites like StyleFeeder.com and top fashion bloggers are predicting a big comeback for the retro-glam look. According to these fashion mavens, boots and tights will be a wardrobe staple and black and grey will dominate color schemes. Check out the top ten emerging trends:
Retro-glam will reign supreme. Structured jackets — think Doris Day– and classic fabrics like tweed or plaid will be the strongest fashion influences.
Boots and tights are a winning combination. Stretch your summer wardrobe by pairing your favorite boots with solid, bright-colored tights.
2008 going on 1970. For a more laidback retro feel, the 70’s hippie look will re-emerge. Look for wide-leg jeans, solid-colored pea coats and chunky flats or platform heels.
Black and grey should dominate. Mix in neutrals from the brown family along with some red, orange, navy, cobalt or plum for a splash of color.
Form-fitting cuts make a big comeback. Look for more fitted and form-fitting cuts because once September hits, it’ll be time to put away those billowing summer tops.
Scarves, scarves, scarves! Fall season staples for any wardrobe, summer scarves will bulk up slightly and dominate the fall season leading into winter.
Sweaters with a twist. Sweater dresses — with and without a turtleneck — will make a big splash once the chilly fall air rolls around.
Back to baskets. Basket weaving patterns will appear in everything from dresses to boots.
Traditional accessories are in. Native American-inspired and turquoise jewelry will dominate the accessories arena.
Flirty and fun. For skirts and dresses, tiers and ruffles add a flirty flavor to any fall outfit.
