LONDON’S STREETWEAR SHOWS SHINE

London, England, 20 Feb. 2007
This season, TBC, Margin and The Park, the three most prominent streetwear shows in London, all changed locations from the previous season.

Margin took the The Park’s former venue in Marshall Street, whereas The Park relocated to Brick Lane in east London, just around the corner from TBC’s spot in the Truman Brewery.

Standouts at Margin included Big Fluff’s charming woodblock printed tops and Urban Buzz’s neat womenswear collection consisting of jersey dresses, skirts and tops in zappy orange, gray and emerald green.

TBC ran from February 11 to 12 while Margin and The Park were three-day events that ran from February 11 to 13.

“It was my first time showing at MARGIN and I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. However, I needn’t have worried as it turned out to be a wholly fantastic (not to mention profitable!) experience. I’ll now most definitely become a MARGIN regular and am already looking forward to the next show.”

The atmosphere was friendly and intimate, and it seemed that all the buyers and press felt at ease to give everyone attention.
