From watching the TV documentary series ‘ Made In England’ its all about fashion machinists making a business out of making clothes these days there’s not a big trade for this as many clothes are shipped from abroad.
The company conveys the message of it producing quality rather than quantity. Because of the present crisis more and more things are being shipped over from abroad and because of new technologies that have a better scale of speed done my machine much quicker than could be ever done by hand this decreases the amount of labor so there are very little jobs available in this industry is a dying trade.
This particular documentary focuses on the hard work put into the garments creating a much better outcome rather than buying huge quantities of garments from abroad. Experienced seamstresses work together to create clothing lines for Topshop etc. This is a big thing in today’s clothing industry when was the last time you picked up a garment that said made in England? This tells you as a buyer ‘made with quality’
In conclusion to my findings from this documentary I think it is really good what these groups of people are doing keeping the making of clothes alive in Britain however I don’t think this method would be always be very cost effective making clothes in England is a lot more expensive than making clothes abroad if I personality was running a new clothing store I would look at the cheaper options as then you would be making more of a profit from the garments.
