Британские дизайнеры опирались на работы Диора, создавая свое собственное направление. В своих работах они использовали складки, которые придавали эффект завершенности изделиям. Складки любой формы использовались для мужской и женской одежды. В своих работах британские модельеры полагались в основном на визуальный обман.
