SUE LEONARD
ONCE the preserve of haute couture designers, London Fashion Week is embracing the clothing revolution by giving official recognition to the high street and supermarkets.
Topshop has secured a place on the catwalk, becoming the first high street brand ever to debut its own designer collection at the prestigious event, which begins today.
Industry experts say it's a clear signal to consumers that they should no longer think in terms of high fashion or the high street and that it is now cool to mix Giorgio Armani with George at Asda.
Clothes-buying habits have been transformed in recent years as millions of consumers decided there was nothing wrong with buying value-for-money fashion from outlets such as H&M.
John Wilson, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, which organises the fashion trade fair, said: "Fashion is now an aspirational spend. Consumers are going to decide if they want to spend money on fashion or the latest iPod or a fabulous meal."
Those not interested in keeping up with the Jones's on the fashion front might as well get a cheaper product at the supermarket, Wilson said.
"They will get value for money. There is a lot of mixing. People could go and buy a very expensive shirt and buy a T-shirt from Tesco. There is nothing wrong with that. People now look upon fashion as a way of expressing themselves. Some of us want to buy something that nobody else is wearing."
Sarah Davidson, owner of Jane Davidson in Edinburgh, recently voted one of the world's top 25 boutiques by style bible Harpers & Queen, agrees that cheap and chic can go well together.
Davidson, who will be buying the latest designer must-haves for her customers at the show, said: "The designer market is strong at the moment but, equally, businesses like Primark are doing incredibly well. What people are learning to do is to is to buy a fabulous tailored Roland Mouret jacket but they might wear it with some denim cut-offs from Primark and they might carry a vintage bag.
"It is about a mixture. Women are very canny. They want to buy an investment piece from me and go for seasonal things you can pick up for nothing and have fun with fashion.
"What is nice about fashion is that women won't be dictated to any more. Gone are the days when Vogue dictated the hemline."
For the first time there will also be a menswear show featuring designers such as Siv Stoldal, Benjamin Kirchhoff and Patrik Soderstam to raise the profile of men's fashion, reflecting the increasing interest among men in what they wear.
Wilson said: "It is the same for men as it is for women. They know they can go and buy a pair of jeans for £4 or Armani jeans for £150."
For womenswear, established designers such as Betty Jackson, Paul Smith, Julien Macdonald and John Rocha will be joined by up-and-coming talents such as Sinha-Stanic, Giles, Basso & Brooke and Ashish. They will put on some of the 46 catwalk shows over the five-day event which will feature the cream of the international modelling set.
Supermodels expected at the event include Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Eva Herzegova. They are vital for designers to get the column inches in magazines and newspapers which help to secure orders and subsequent sales.
There will also be plenty of partying - where much business is conducted - but the industry will be hoping it can repair some of the damage inflicted by the alleged drug-taking of model Kate Moss.
On the outside all is glamour but the fashion industry is very big business. Latest figures for 2003 show that £20bn was spent on womenswear, £9.5bn on menswear and £6.5bn on childrenswear.
The 170 designers also showcasing their collections will all be hoping they get a cut of the action, by attracting the buyers who gather from around the world.
"Most of us are enjoying a growing and strong standard of living," said Wilson. "Most of us have the essentials we need and are now looking at things we aspire to have.
"Fashion fits into that category. The Italians have long had this mentality of saving up for a particular item. We are seeing the same sort of thing here - people will take a decision to buy something to cover their body or to make a statement."
Wilson said both the top and bottom ends of the market had done well but the middle price range shops had suffered.
"I accept there are sane and normal people who do not think that fashion is important in their lives, and if they can buy most of the things they need to wear when they are buying their groceries, why not? Those who take a different view put more money into it."
Stuart Rose, chief executive of Marks & Spencer, is also chairman of the British Fashion Council. His own brand may be suffering on the high street but he is bullish about the health of British fashion overall.
He said: "We are looking forward to a vibrant and busy season. This season's London Fashion Week will be full of the creative energy that drives fashion forward."
