The Weekly Briefing - 15 February

Our researcher Heather Lafferty presents a roundup of the week’s fashion and politics headlines — including the news that The British Fashion Council (BFC) has confirmed that Clearpay - a buy-now-pay-later payment service - will be the new principal partner of London Fashion Week. The announcement comes shortly after the government announced a crackdown on buy-now-pay-later payment services such as Klarna and Clearpay, allowing shoppers to pay for the purchase in interest-free instalments.
