‘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

Earlier this year Patrick Grant, The Great British Sewing Bee presenter and clothes designer, criticised the poor quality of Marks & Spencer’s jumpers and socks – and now the luxury British heritage brand Burberry is in his line of fire.

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.”
