Britain has the most creative, dynamic and nimble fashion industry in the world.

Dear London, British fashion is a serious business. The British fashion industry is worth £21bn to the U.K. economy and employs 819,000 people across the country. With your help, we would like to see these numbers rise for the good of our industry, our talented designers, and our reputation worldwide.

My parents are famously not part of the gestalt of the fashion industry.

Business is tough, and the fashion industry is particularly tough.

My parents had a factory, so I was linked to the textile and fashion industry.

It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.
