English Revival

Old English clothing brands are definitely being revived in todays fashion. I lost count of the number of Hunter wellington boots that I saw at Bestival over the summer, and everyone around campus is wearing Barbour jackets. I like that such brands that are the backbone of English clothing are now coming into fashion.

A year ago many people wouldn't have been seen dead in most of this clothing, mainly because it's main target market are farmers, a not so glamorous profession, however it just shows the influence that the media has on today's fashion. If it wasn't for Kate Moss wearing her Hunter wellington boots to the first festival of the summer, then I very much doubt that so many would have been sold over the past few months. Style icons influence us every day, even when we don't realise it.
