Reveller Clothing was founded by a group of surfers, skaters, artists and musicians who wanted a clothing range that reflected their outlook and ethics. To sustain their environmental and humanitarian beliefs, Reveller Clothing only sources from Fairwear Foundation audited manufacturers, uses Organic Cotton, and works with their screenprinter to ensure that all garments are only printed with inks that are Phthalates- and PVC-free. Reveller Clothing also put their money where their mouth is by donating part of their turnover to humanitarian and environmental charities. Reveller will be making their debut in London at Margin on the cusp of The Tee Room and TraidFare areas, and in Tokyo at the IFF show in Terroir. |

As well as returning to exhibit at Margin in February 2008, Brighton label Vacant, along with their sister label Pretty Vacant, were selected by Terroir to bring their music influenced range to Tokyo in January 08. Initially inspired by the Sex Pistols, Vacant adopted the Rat as their logo to represent the urban aspect of their range of mens and womens tops and knitwear. Vacant is proud to boast that the design and production of the garments are of UK origin, working closely with UK manufacturing to ensure the label remains resolutely cool Britannia. Vacant has a vintage-style range of Dennis the Menace garments under license from The Beano and has newly added a range of Bazooka Joe clothing. |
