identity in britain
‘Identity in Britain’ explores the fashion subcultures that make up Britain today. The UK largely celebrates its diversity, and its multicultural nature makes it a really exciting and welcoming place to live. However, Britain isn’t only diverse when it comes to the people that live here but also fashion and the way they dress. In the past, subcultures were about resisting against social and political structures, however now our society is much more accepting of the ways in which one chooses to dress. Subcultures are no longer reserved for the countercultural, they are culture.
