| Back in the stone age, clothing wasn’t really given much significance. With the progress of mankind, the necessity of covering the human body was felt. But now this requirement has changed into more of a fashion affair. Nowadays, while buying apparel/footwear/accessories we run for famous fashion labels to gain status symbol.
Although among European designers, the Italian designers are known as the torch-bearers of fashion clothing, but UK has its own share of renowned fashion brands. A world famous UK fashion brand example is “FCUK” … a renowned label acclaimed by UK fashion brand “French Connection”.

These are truly some of the top most fashion brand of the UK market…personal favorites would be Ben Sherman, NEXT, Marks & Spenser and of course FCUK. But don’t you think that most of these fashion brands need a logo redesign?

Sweet…this post made me remind of the many fashion brands i used to wear but ahve now discontinued to use them… can say why :S but i guess im more of a person who likes to try the latest in the house..not much of a brand loyalist so i guess that might explain why i dont wear any of the above fashion brands now.
The logo for Ben Sherman and Lambretta are col though!
