To inform the further development of the joint DCMS/DTI Creative Economy Programme we have held a number of industry summits, including one for the fashion industry.
For each summit, we invited members of the relevant industry giving them an opportunity to comment on the analysis underpinning our work and on the areas we had identified for further action.
Invitations to the fashion summit—held on 16 April at the London College of Fashion—were issued to the following people.

It is not possible to release the supporting papers provided for the industry summits as this would inhibit the formulation or development of Government policy. The papers were intended to inform the development of policy underpinning our approach to supporting the creative economy. We will publish the outcome of our discussion in the forthcoming Creative Economy Green Paper, planned for the summer.
