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.

Guess who we fell in Love with at Margin London? When?: 14 February 2010 : 2:00 pm : We went to check out Margin London on Valentines day (no sadly we didnt get swept of our feet by our Valentine hunks) to see for ourselves what street wear has in store for us. Well, for one, there were a lot of t-shirts with great prints but thats not all of course, we met some exciting designers and cannot wait to get to know them better but here are our highlights: Jojo & Mac An old favourite as Ive been eyeing up her cardigans for a while!! There is an exciting new range on top of the lovely cardigans but all will be revealed another time. (www.jojoandmac.info) Uncommonly Beautiful If its good for the environment, its good for us, actually its more than good!! We love to see designers being inventive with material and Uncommonly Beautiful does just that. All their jewellery comes from recycled material but again more to come! (www.uncommonlybeautiful.com) Mr Wingate Although known for his print and t-shirts but weve noticed his wall papers and just had to talk to him. Turns out hes been a busy man with a shop opening just around the corner where he will showcase his interior skills and hopefully we can get our hands on some wallpaper. (www.wingateprint.com) Akira Mushi We love the versatility of the Greek duos collection. You can wrap it around and wear it in many different ways. If you are wondering where the name comes from, its both of their dogs name, how cute! I-m wondering what type of dogs they are (www.akiramushi.com) There were lots more designers we loved, but we wont overwhelm you - instead well cover the ones we loved in lots more detail!

“Margin was perfect to showcase our first collection. We got a brilliant response and it was great to meet Buyers from all of the UK’s major cities and Europe. With Magazines from Brazil, Greece and Switzerland, it gave the show a real international feel too. Odysseas and his crew looked after us and made sure everything ran smoothly. The show has introduced us to new businesses and exposure which is fantastic for launching our brand.”

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.
