UKFT’s BRITISH MENSWEAR BRANDS

Uskees

Today’s UK independent brands are leading the way in terms of local production, gender fluidity and creative design. Collections celebrate originality and individuality like never before, with many refusing to adhere to the dizzying seasonal calendar to maintain timeless appeal.

Gravalot

Our showcase includes the emerging designers, cult labels, heritage producers and creative artisans changing the face of the UK industry, which are stocked by retailers and sold around the world.

Daniel Crabtree

There is a strong focus on sustainable materials, small-run collections and UK production for menswear, with brands embracing slow fashion trends to create pieces that are designed to last.
