Article Abstract:

British fashion design has become extremely popular in New York, NY. British designers are admired for their creativity, and their designs are now also proving very commercial. Stores are keen to stock British fashion design in order to portray themselves as cutting-edge retailers. The strength of the pound makes British exports to the US expensive, but sales are strong. British fashion design is no longer simply a source of inspiration for designers from other countries, but has become a growing business in its own right.
