‘We don’t need fashion’: Sewing Bee host criticises British brand Burberry

Patrick Grant says not even luxury clothing labels care enough about quality any more

Speaking at an event organised by the Design Council last week, Grant had a simple message for the audience: Most people who sell you clothes do not give a stuff about the quality."
