Designers weighed in on the debate during last week's fashion showcase London Collections Men (LCM), where Christopher Raeburn presented pieces emblazoned with the word 'In', and Cozette McCreery and Sid Bryan of Sibling showed support by taking their final bow wearing 'In' T-shirts.
"For a host of reasons including staffing, manufacturing and exporting, we're very much in," Raeburn told Dezeen.

McCreery had additional safety concerns should Britain vote to leave.
"We sell in Europe, we work with European factories closer to home, many of our friends and our models come from Europe," she said.
"We strongly believe that we are stronger in and that being in only strengthens our unity on the World stage, a stage that at the moment ? post-Orlando, post-Paris and post-Brussels ? feels very precarious."
