Well I am from India, so I cannot guide you on how to start a fashion business in London. But,what I can tell you is

Hang out at fashion shows a lot. You can probably find investors there. Even if you don't, you could still network with some popular people in your niche.

Also, try to start off with working as a fashion consultant. You get some clients that way and then you can use those client base to rope in genuine investors.

Is the fashion changing?Do people still wanna buy commercial/retail items?

fashion is changing every now and then.. you should sell the latest collection or atleast what your market wants you to sell.. ask and interview friends/other people what they want to buy and try to look for a manufacturer that can give you the biggest discount for wholesale
