Who are you, how do you see yourself and where are you going? This question has been key to our work at Fashion Roundtable especially with our advocacy on Brexit which is rooted in identity politics and a crisis of individuality.

Last month, the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Textiles and Fashion organised a meeting to discuss visas and employment in the garment manufacturing sector. Fashion Roundtable, which provides the secretariat for the Group, also launched a survey to collect data and insights from the garment manufacturing sector, which closes on the 6th of September.

Manufacturers, machinists, academics and policy makers gathered on Monday 8th of July to discuss visas and employment for the UK garment manufacturing industry.
