Above: the Fashion Retail Academy was set up in 2005 to enhance the standard of merchandising in the British fashion industry (the United Kingdom excels at designing, but is not so good at selling - there is a residual idea that selling is somehow...).
It is worth considering the impact fashion has on the United Kingdom economy. In the exotic caravansarai that is London Fashion Week the world creative forces that shape how people look (and look at each other) will be briefly gathered. London has always been a reliable wellspring of original designs / ideas / concepts.
As well as giving, London also receives a considerable amount of support from world-fashion decision makers. A few words of endorsement from Anne Wintour or Karl Lagerfeld will easily negate the gloomy verdicts of Howard Schultz or Jim Rogers among investors looking for sectors that can make them money. The industry makes money and is an engine of growth, but hardly anyone takes it seriously.
