Yorkshire Textiles were instrumental in a 4 page article in The Big Issue magazine this month on the textiles industry in the North. This is another example of how we are helping drive the revival of the industry in the region. As well as reporting on our initiatives, the article covered intelligent textiles and the use of textiles in the automotive and aeronatutical industries, as well as the less unexpected topics of high quality woollen clothing and how we are helping the resurgence by showcasing and promoting innovative projects.
The Yorkshire Textiles umbrella was initiated by Leeds Fashion Works, whose founder members are :-
Suzy Shepherd
Carolyn Lord
Paul Forbes OBE
Andew Homer
It is the imbued excellence, the quality of the products and specialist skills that have led to the utilisation of Yorkshire Textiles by global brands. The sector in the Leeds City Region can build further on the connections between Yorkshire Textiles and internationally renowned fashion houses.
