The shockwave the coronavirus brought coupled with an awareness of environmental changes and the contribution the fashion industry makes to that has shifted consumer behaviour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>BOF McKinsey &amp; Company states in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/~\/media\/mckinsey\/industries\/retail\/our%20insights\/state%20of%20fashion\/2021\/the-state-of-fashion-2021-vf.pdf\">\u201cThe state of fashion 2021\u201d<\/a>:<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGiven the extreme jeopardy facing the industry, there is no simple, standardised playbook for the coming year. Instead, fashion companies must tailor their strategies to fit their individual priorities, market exposure and capabilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, deploy your \u201csilver linings strategy\u201d that takes advantage of bright spots in the proverbial storm. The key principles for managing change will be flexibility and agility, alongside operational resilience \u2014 a critical capability in an uncertain environment. To inform decision-making, we expect data and analytics to play an increasingly important role, helping companies to track shifts in demand across geographies, categories, channels and value segments.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What this means is that the clothing industry model as it is is no longer viable. Buying cheap in the Far East (or other low wage countries), and transporting to and selling cheap in the UK is not sustainable in the long term. The increases in raw material prices, labour &amp; transport costs, plus the additional time it is now taking to get the product from the factory gates to the consumer, is disrupting the supply chain.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clothing prices will inevitably increase because of that. There will always be lower priced clothing, and for that part of the market there will be no discernible change, but for the mid and higher priced market there will be significant changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the \u201cbright spots in the proverbial storm\u201d is that design and production in the UK (locally) has come back to the forefront. Historically, the UK took leadership in quality garment manufacturing but this was suppressed by cheap manufacture in China and the Far East.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are significant problems to overcome in the UK, such as increasing energy, rent, labour costs and a general lack of skilled labour, but it can be done.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-astglobalcolor4 ); color: var(--ast-global-color-3); font-size: 1rem;\">To change the tide back to the UK and encourage upcoming designers and manufacturers to go back to the quality garments and encourage skilled labour, we need to facilitate new strategies and base those on our knowledge on what we as UK companies already know about the manufacturing process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b6e1b12\" data-id=\"b6e1b12\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0ff230 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d0ff230\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>The UK is uniquely placed in this industry <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and a strong trend towards sustainability and cleverly designed clothing is on the up. New designers are taking the place of larger fashion houses that either went bust or had to drastically change to survive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need to facilitate this new trend of creativity by supplying the knowledge of fashion manufacturing to the new generation. <\/span><b>Inevitably, there will be challenges but in order to take a strong position from the get-go, designers and manufacturers need to provide bulletproof strategies based on actual knowledge rather than guess work.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Closing the skill gap starts with knowing where the \u201cpotholes\u201d are and avoiding them. In the current situation, no one can afford to bleed money into areas that have been overlooked or are unaware of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good example is that most UK factories work CMT, where they only supply the labour and their customer supplies patterns, fabric, trimmings etc.\u00a0 There will be a knowledge gap as UK buyers are used to working Fully Factored with the manufacturers in the Far East, where they only need to sketch their requirements and the factory then makes up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>As a NED, my exposure to manufacturing has been vital for my clients and in stark demand. I have been turning around companies and running my own factory right here in the UK.<\/b><\/p><p><b>In my experience, training teams and setting up systems are now essential and I have the privilege to help new and established companies to harness their skill, streamline the production process and strategies with on the ground knowledge and experience.\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>I have been providing independent oversight and challenge and ensuring, with the Board of the company as a whole, the effective implementation of decisions.\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>My insight regarding best practice on ethical, financial, manufacturing issues are of great value to my clients.\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think that taking personal responsibility and ownership as well as ethical alignment with today\u2019s values should weave its way throughout all departments and ranks. Creating a culture that reflects the values of the leadership is an important task and not a small one.
