Fashion designers and textile designers help create the clothes, soft furnishings and functional materials that the world spends millions on each year.

Fashion and textiles are big business. In 2008 alone, in UK fashion and textile industries produced £8.6bn worth of goods. And the fashion industry is the second biggest employer in the UK, not surprising when you consider that UK consumers spent £46bn on clothing and footwear in 2008.

Fashion and textile designers can make plenty of money, but they can also make statements with the things they design. Punk, emo, goth and retro fashion can say a lot about the person who’s wearing it, and fashion designers like to shout loudly about the ethics, origin and attitude of their creations. We’ll explore more of what makes fashion ethical, sustainable and inclusive.

Textile designers can seem like artists or scientists. The materials and processes they exploit to create colour, pattern and shape can make their work seem like alchemy but their ability to turn recycled materials into aesthetically pleasing fabrics requires artistry and training. Read on to find out what Harris Tweed, textiles that dissolve and fabric for your sofa tell us about the UK textile industry and its designers.
