Premium showing at Margin London<br />
Thursday, 05 August 2010    </p>
<p>Despite the ongoing uncertainty of the economic climate, the August 2010 edition of independent show Margin consolidated it's position as the most directional & credible UK trade event for streetwear and young fashion which, even at the 19th edition, still has the pulling power to attract leading retailers from quality stores, many of whom do not attend regular tradeshows.</p>
<p>Carefully edited, the premium selection of new and established labels, handpicked to exhibit at Margin, proved too strong a draw for key independent streetwear purveyors including Slam City Skates and Supra from London, Ran and Wood from Manchester, The Consortium and Richmond Classics from Bournemouth, Switch from the Isle of Wight, Urban Industry from Eastbourne, Cooshti and My Yard from Bristol, and Wellgosh from Leicester.</p>
<p>Visiting buyers and press enthused about the mix of credible established brands such as Silas (who selected Margin for their trade show debut to mark their return to Europe after a four year absence), Obey, WeSC, Makia, Gravis, Duffs, and Dephect, alongside new brands making their trade launch at the show, such as 1ina100, Emilythepemily, AnyForty, KNK, Trikki, and Eva Evanovich.</p>
<p>Unlike many other larger trade events who welcome all-comers in an attempt to swell visitor statistics, Margin is open to buyers, press, multi-label agents & distributors only, so exhibitors were able to devote their time to dealing with serious visitors from key UK & international stores and magazines intent on making contact and doing business.</p>
<p>As always, Margin welcomed independent stores and boutiques from across the UK and internationally that the show is well known for attracting (such as Ace, American Retro, Boy Parker, FortyFive, Hardware, Ju-Ju, Kuji, Kusje, Lunacy, Pie in the Sky, Potassium, Soho Hip, Social, and Tyto), as well as drawing a strong following of multiples including Ark Clothing, Frontline, Joy, Moist, and Triple-S, and online players of all sizes including ASOS, Chemical Records, CX London, Extreme Pie, Grindstore, Mr Shunk, and Surfdome.</p>
<p>From large stores such as Bentalls and Urban Outfitters, to leading boutiques like Sarah Coggles and Paradis, Margin welcomed successful stores of all sizes, stores who remain successful by staying informed and on top of credible new brands that can generate retail excitement.</p>
<p>The 19th edition of the longest-running independent trade show in London also welcomed key international stores from Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Italy, and Japan, all keen to tap into UK streetwear & young fashion at Margin.</p>
<p>The next edition of Margin London will take place in February 2011. More information at www.margin.tv and www.margin.tv/pressroom

Margin boss calls for indies to star on website<br />
12 June 2010 | By Eve Oxberry<br />
The founder of young fashion trade show Margin is finalising plans to launch a consumer website that will host video tours of indie stores from around the world.</p>
<p>Show owner Odysseas Constantine said the website would be kept separate from Margin to ensure it was consumer-facing rather than trade-facing. A name for the site has yet to be finalised.</p>
<p>The site will launch in October and feature store tours of indies including Sarah Coggles of York, Ju-Ju in Brighton and Elements in Norwich.</p>
<p>Constantine has toured the country to make the videos and has invited any indie that is interested in being featured to contact him at info@margin.tv.</p>
<p>Indies must have at least one bricks-and-mortar store and sell more than one brand to be considered for filming.</p>
<p>If enough indies from one area apply, Constantine will visit that area to film on-site at the stores. He has just returned from Brighton and is now planning a trip to Middlesbrough for the next filming session, before heading to Rotterdam in the Netherlands in August.</p>
<p>Constantine is yet to decide how the site will be funded, but said indies would never be charged a fee for being featured.</p>
<p>The concept is being tested with a few videos on the www.margin.tv site and Constantine said the response had been positive. I-ve had tons of emails from buyers since the videos went live. Stores from across the UK and also as far afield as Spain want to get involved.</p>
<p>Constantine has already filmed 15 indies and intends to have 100 videos completed in time for the sites launch.</p>
<p>Ahead of the launch, Constantine will promote the new website via social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter and will also post the videos on video-sharing websites YouTube and Vimeo to drive traffic.<br />

<p>MARGIN PREMIERES NEW SHOP TOUR VIDEOS<br />
Margin, the independent London trade exhibition, has turned its attention to promoting its core constituents of indie shops that keep towns and cities stocked with fresh product.</p>
<p>'Independent stores are a vital part of the retail landscape,' said exhibition organiser Odysseas Constantine. 'They're the stores that pick up on new designers first, at least two years before department stores and corporate multiples, and they bring excitement to shopping. After looking around online, I couldn't believe there wasn't a dedicated website promoting these forward-thinking boutiques in a credible or enticing way, so we're planning on launching a consumer-facing website later this year to promote these important shops to the public. In the meantime,' Constantine added, 'the videos are working double duty on the Margin site as well.'</p>
<p>The first wave of Shop Tour videos premiered on May 24 on Margin’s website, and plenty more have been planned in the following weeks. Stores featured in the first wave of Margin Shop Tours include a diverse mix of modern retailers including long-standing design emporium Sarah Coggles in York, streetwear merchants Urban Industry in Eastbourne and Chimp in Leeds, cutting-edge boutique Bespoke in Norwich, and Brighton retailers JuJu and Get Cutie. Additional stores adding some Spanish flavor include Bilbao's newest streetwear store Abricot and board wear mecca The Box in Vigo.</p>
<p>Margin is the longest-running independent trade show for directional men’s and women’s clothing and accessories in London. A proven successful hunting ground for key buyers & press to find new brands since the shows started over seven years ago, Margin is set to host its 19th edition in London this August.
