Some will argue that not everything can be achieved here in Wales and some will have to make the move in order to get experience.
Naomi Pike, commissioning editor at Elle UK, moved to London from Swansea to pursue a career in fashion.
She said it was “really exciting” that events like Fashion Britain were being expanded outside of London.
“I know when I was growing up, I would have been supremely excited to go to something such as this,” she said.
Pike, who hosted various events in collaboration with Elle and Fashion Britain, spoke about the importance of community and networking at events like this.
“Finding people that have like-minded views, shared values, and you can build and support each other,” she said.
“I think there is a place for fashion in Wales, there’s a long way for it to go to compete with anything that we see in the other big capitals.
“But Wales, for instance, has always had its place in fashion. There have been so many designers that have referenced our amazing craft and heritage.
“I think of Sarah Burton when she was at Alexander McQueen. She often looked to our craft. You see people like Jonathan Anderson and Phoebe Filo, two of the world’s most important designers, look to Gwyn John for art inspiration.”
Pike said Welshness can be a unique selling point.
“Welsh creativity, I think is very singular. The existence of being Welsh, whether you’re in London, whether you’re in another part of Britain, whether you’re in another part of the world is very singular.
“The idea of identity and value and language and performance and creativity and art, I think they all come together”.
