Margin London (Recap) 23 February, 2010 Last weekend we were fortunate enough to be invited along to the Margin trade exhibition in London to get a sneak peak at upcoming collections from a number of brands coming out of the UK and Europe. Over the two days we met a whole load of creative people and were able to see their forthcoming collections first hand, all in one space, which was a really valuable thing. For us it was all about the UK brands on show, with collections ranging from accessories to full menswear & womenswear lines and everything in between. There was certainly a lot to get round and see and as a result we made the trip over both days just to make sure we-d seen it all. With both established and start-up brands on show, Margin certainly had it all covered. Mr. Wingate Great little brand from London with a big range of graphic tees and sweats. The attention to print and garment materials here really got us going, especially the use of puff inks on a few items. Check out the pub series too (see The Macbeth tee above/left) which we felt was rather special. Mr Wingate is available from the new studio/shop in East London, or online here. My Yard Bristol based artist focused clothing label with a big selection of bright t-shirts and sweatshirts. Their collection features the fine artistic talents of some of the UKs best street artists and illustrators, including the likes of Nikill and Ben Normanton. Available through select UK retailers as well as the My Yard store in Bristol keep an eye out for embroidered polo shirts and more coming for SS10 soon. I Am Five Fresh new brand launched in 2009 with a hefty selection of T-shirts. Designs come with both added comedy value and just straight up simplicity. I loved the intrinsic British nature of the shirt designs, with the queens royal emblem and Sherlock Holmes silhouette making an appearance. Keep your eyes peeled for loads more from these guys soon. Ultramega Brand new T-shirt brand based in London with some huge prints. Definitely one to keep an eye on for the future. Check out more of the designs and purchase a few here. Lazy Oaf - One of the more established brands at Margin but still great to see what this brand have planned for 2010. With a new store set to open on March 4th and a lot of exciting product releases scheduled, this is set to be a big year for Lazy Oaf. Look out for the new 5 panel caps and some pretty exciting T-shirt designs dropping soon. Mr. Jones Watches Crispin Jones creates limited watches with very individual twists. The Decider helps you deal with those tough decisions, The Cyclops offers a more relaxed way to tell the time and The Accurate is the most accurate wristwatch you can buy, the hour hand reads remember and the minute hand reads you will die. All these styles and more are available here. Zelley Bespoke Our personal favourite brand on show at Margin, a bespoke sneaker lace company based in Norwich. Zelley Bespoke allows you the opportunity to design your own custom sneaker laces any colour, any shape or size, but with a very special touch. Each lace is tipped with a variety of metals and gemstones of your choice. Chose anything from silver tips with cubic zirconia all the way through gold and rubies to platinum tipped laces with inset diamonds! A huge look for any sneakerhead. Keep your eyes on The Daily Street for more from all the brands above. Big thanks to Margin for having us along to the event, we-ll see you again next year. More info on the show here.

Margin London Autumn/Winter 2010-11 Edition Despite being the longest-running independent trade event in London, Margin remains a fringe affair and an untapped resource for emerging street wear and young fashion labels. These brands are born out of personal passions often created with handcrafted touches and finishes with local sourcing at the core whether it be the UK or Latvia. DENIM Laundry Maid Jeans are a relatively new name in the premium denim market utilising the British tendency for expert tailoring to produce high quality cuts with meticulous attention to detail and perfect constructional finishing. Futurism inspires Hypnosis fashion-forward denim collection, littered with deconstructed detailing from off-centre button fly fastening, twisted seams and dropped-crotch cuts. ACCESSORIES Margin is a hotbed for quirky one-off jewellery brands. We loved Sansonnet, a Tokyo based label whose pretty pieces resembled re-worked antiques meets kiddy-craft kit - very Harajuku. Hannah Makes Things is another fun brand, specialising in pendants ranging from mini donuts to rainbows to cassette tapes! One of the highlight accessories concepts was Sneakart a range of durable but removable, art-inspired stickers that can be adapted to customise any sports shoe shape. GRAPHIC TEES As expected, graphic tees abound at street wear shows and Margin was no exception. Each label seem to major in art first, t-shirt printing second producing some original graphic ideas in the process. Bristol-based label My Yard commissions local graphic artists to produce designs for the tee label in a range of eye-popping colours. Conquer is rooted in fine-art with the design team producing intricate illustrations which are then applied using a specially developed printing method to ensure the clearest transfer. Finally, Junkfunk is a Brighton-based label entrenched in typography and revolutionary-flavoured graphic design (think Spanish civil war slogans and Cold War motifs). READY TO WEAR There was something for everyone, RTW-wise. Hysteric Asteria designer Alexia Kirmitsi has developed a reversible webbed/inverted knit technique that adorns oversized jumpers and trims jersey dresses. Brighton-based Jojo & Mac produced knitted jumpers and cardigans with cutesy motifs like all-over YSL style strawberries and large placement cats. Germaine Minette brought a range of detailed mens shirting with subtle panelled collars, contrast inserts and lining and wonky welt pockets. 21dgrs are a truly global brand, designed in Hamburg, based and manufactured in Bali, sold in the far-reaches of the Southern hemisphere- even Byron Bay! The collection is diverse with hand-dyed silk dresses, printed tees and detailed washed sweats. Found comprised of unique items creatively salvaged from vintage garments and fabrics.

Kunterbunte Tradeshow Am 16.2.10 von rahel Als wären die Leute aus ihrem Winterschlaf erwacht, wirkt London bunter und lebendiger die Tage. Vorbei der graue Alltag mit vereisten Gehwegen, nutzlos bestreut mit einer Packung Küchensalz und vernebelt durch die Abgaswolken der Gasheizungen. Die Mode ruft. Letzte Vorbereitungen, die Fashionweek ist in ihren Startlöchern. Wo man sich umschaut, finden sich Trade- und Modeshows. Da ist selbst Topshop, der britische H&M, vorne an und fordert auf sich aufzubrezeln. Es heisst sehen und gesehen werden, da Street Hunter und Fashion Ikonen die Stadt unsicher machen. So ist also auch wieder Zeit für die Margin (14.-15. Februar 2010), auf die wir uns zweimal im Jahr freuen. Odysseas ruft alle Jungdesigner und Kreative zusammen und hat auch dieses Jahr keine Mühen gespart, für uns ein Reich der Sinne zu zaubern. Den Dandy in uns spricht Germain Minette an. Herrenhemden in Pastelltönern mit besonderen Abnähern und symmetrischen Formen verleihen dem Herrn nicht nur einen metrosexuellen Look sondern bringen auch Frische in den Kleiderschrank. Mr. Jones Watches möchte mit seinem Design die letzten Fragen der Menschheit lösen. Für überforderte Individuen entwarf er eine Uhr, die Entscheidungen übernimmt. Im Sekundentakt wechselt das Zifferblatt von Ja auf Nein und wieder zurück. Aber auch für Charaktere, die ihren Tag gerne konventionell einteilen, entwarf er eine Uhr. Sie hält einem die tägliche Routine auf dem Zifferblatt vor Augen. Für customize Fans entwarf SneakArt eine Klebefolie mit der man seine Schuhe ganz individuell und in jeder Form selbst bekleben kann. Das Design reicht von Kinderzeichnung bis zur Blumentapete. Unsere Lust am Schuhkauf wird dies kaum bremsen, aber es könnte den Mauerblümchen im Schuhschrank zu neuem Glanz verhelfen. Mit Lust auf Mode befreit sich das graue winterliche London. Bei so viel Inspiration und Träumen kann der Frühling mit seinem spärlichen Blumenschmuck in den Vorgärten gerne noch auf sich warten lassen. http://kinkimag.com/blog/kunterbunte-tradeshow/

Am Puls der Margin Am 3.8.09 von rahel noch kein KommentarHeute ist Sommer in London und ich lasse bei einer Tasse Tee für 1.50 Pfund, auf dem Dach eines kleinen Cafés in Shoreditch, die Margin Revue passieren. Nicht alles ist teuer in London. Oft trifft man unvermittelt Kostbarkeiten. Die Tradeshow, die wir im Frühjahr schon besuchen durften, fühlte sich auch dieses Mal wieder ganz besonders an. Ungezwungen und echt, wie die Mode Londons. Als wäre alles Intuition und Zufall. Für jeden etwas dabei. So stolperte ich dort über Candy-Schmuck von “Girl From Blue City”, der mir zwar das Wasser im Mund zusammen laufen ließ, aber keine klebrigen Finger machte. Rhian Lewis gestaltet seit fünf Jahren qualitätvollen Schmuck und greift dabei bewusst auf farbenfrohen Retrokitsch und Pop Art zurück. Als nächstes kitzelten mir die Prints von Mr. Wingate die Augen. Seine besonderen Shirts, die er im Osten Londons druckt, sind teils von der Op-Art inspiriert. Dagegen spielt seine Hochhausserie mit dem Standpunkt des Betrachters, der sich fragen muss, bin ich Frosch oder Vogel. Jojo and Mac lassen sich von dem Lieblingsstück der Queen inspirieren, das Strickjäckchen. Heraus kommt ein klassisch strenger Schnitt, der mit verspieltem Design und Applikationen funkelt. Ein Hoch auf Odysseas, der es schafft den Querdenkern und jungen Genies der Modeszene eine Plattform zu bieten. Dank der Margin wird der Puls des Londoner Mode- und Lebensstils greifbar. http://kinkimag.com/blog/am-puls-der-margin/

Better Never Than Late / BNTL +

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Monday, 3 August 2009 Margin 09 Today me and Big Ron were invited down to the Margin Trade Show at the Music Rooms. Margin is Londons only independent trade show that hand picks brands from around the world that they feel will benefit from the exposure of a London trade show. Retailers, buyers and distributors are all invited down along with the press. Here are a pick of mine and Ronnies favourite brands... Vestal featured as an established brand and it was a good chance to check out some of their new colletion... A brand called Germain Minette had a really interesting background, they were looking to move their brand into the European market after doing really well in Asia as well as having a flagship stored planned for opening in Shanghai. New label Unequal Balance were launching their first collection at Margin and with a solid range of prints they also had a couple of cut and sew bits... Trousers London a brand I was introduced to last year were back and the update from the camp was that the brand is doing very well, stocked in two places in London and still seeing good trade overseas. The quality of the denim was the first thing you noticed and also some of the attention to detail was encouraging... Another brand I saw last year was Conquer whos designs were concentrated on etchey pencil illustrations. The ladies vest top was said to be one of their best sellers. Ladies brand Jojo & Mac had a nice, playful collection. Bits included cardigans, pullovers and woolly jumpers... The brand Arms definetly stole the show for me, their whole line was cut and sew with a very clean and classic feel to the collection. They are based in Dublin and are looking for more stockists nationwide. If this first collection is anything to go by then I expect to be seeing and hearing a lot more from Arms... On the whole Margin looks like a great success, in this current climate its good to see new brands working hard to make a name for themselves. Not just throwing out prints either, its plain to see a lot of investment, time and design has gone into the majority of brands showcasing. Shout to Odyseas the man behind Margin... More information on all the brands that featured can be found on the Margin website here.
