Midlands young fashion designer awards

Posted by Ari on February 10, 2009 | No Comments

Staying on the topic of helping small design companies grow I just came across the website of the Midlands Young Fashion Designer Awards. This is certainly worth looking into – these kinds of competitions can give you access to a wide range of expertise and provide great networking opportunities. Not to mention a wide array of exposure.

Funnily enough the Midlands used to be the heartland of the British textile and clothing industry. That’s still true to some extent – there are still a lot of manufacturers based there, although sadly it’s declined quite dramatically in recent years. In the UK alone, the number of VAT registered clothing and footwear manufacturers declined from nearly 8,500 in 1998 to just over 3,200 in 2007.

Apart from the obvious – China and India – where are small fashion companies having their clothes made these days?
