UK Fashion Hub and FashionCapital
Fashion Capital have been working with the UK Fashion Hub – an innovative initiative looking to establish a dedicated centre for fashion and textiles in London’s Queen Elizabeth Park following the Olympic Games. Holding the firm belief that there needs to be a reinvigoration of UK manufacturing, and this represents a real opportunity to do this. The bid includes a fashion museum, designer incubator space, photography studios, hair and make-up academies, manufacturing and education zones and a business-to-business wholesale area. This wide range of activities will create a vibrant and exciting place to work, and we think this could be the future of fashion.
There has never been a better time for this type of hub. Manufacturing is returning to the UK, local residents are looking for job opportunities and training and we are seeing resurgence in the value and pride of ‘Made in Britain’.
If you are a designer or manufacturer then why not get in touch and see how you can be part of this great initiative, as they say on their website ‘Why not here, why not now!’
