Fashion Says "Let's Stay Together"

If it wasn't for the small matter of his London Fashion Week show today, Christopher Kane would surely be participating in the Let's Stay Together rally later in Trafalgar Square, as voting in the Scottish Referendum on Thursday draws ever closer. Kane - who is just one of a host of talented Scots who have made an impact on international fashion, supported by the British Fashion Council, over the past 10 years - has already made it clear which side of the fence he stands on by  signing a petition created by the ´No´ campaign alongside many other ex-pats as well as non-Scots. And he's not the only one.

Fashion Says No
"I can't imagine a Britain without Scotland," said Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman - adding that she would be attending the rally if it didn't clash with today's LFW shows. "It would be like losing a limb. On a personal level I think Scotland is a beautiful place and love spending time there. But more important is the fact that we would both be so much the lesser without each other."

Kane and fellow designers Holly Fulton, Jonathan Saunders and Louise Gray won't be voting on September 18, since they all reside in London, but tonight's rally hopes to convince those who will that we are better off within the union.
