<p>MARGIN ATTRACTS CULT PLAYERS<br />
Coming to a close on Tuesday, the SS11 edition of London’s trade show weekend proved to be quite a success. </p>
<p>To indulge further in streetwear and young fashion, Margin (August 1 through 2) offered the usual mix of worthy start-ups and more established players with an indie edge. Among the crop of youngsters—Margin’s very raison d’etre—Saint Martins graduate Am Golhar’s directional collection of knitwear for men stood out. The designer’s cable knit joggers might well become future classics. Another strong contender was arty tee label Conquer, which pushed a formula best described as poetic and quietly sinister. Tees featuring whimsical illustrations of vintage toys and dancing bears were among the collection’s highlights.</p>
<p>Sharing space with the freshmen mentioned above—plus the likes of Trikki, Found, AnyForty, KNK and Emilythepemily­—was cult name Silas, who marked its return to Europe after a few years away from the scene. Other brands that formed part of the Margin mix this season included Obey, St Vacant, WeSC, Makia, Gravis, Duffs, and Dephect.

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 to showcase host of new brands<br />
27 July 2010 | By Suzanne Bearne<br />
Streetwear trade show Margin has signed a raft of new  brands to its August edition.</p>
<p>UK brands making their UK trade show debut include womenswear brands Eva Evanovich and ALQ UK, as well as men’s denimwear from Makia in Finland, Spain’s Garcia Madrid and Articalizm in Japan.</p>
<p>The show also marks the return of brands such as cult brand Silas, womenswear and accessories brand OBEY and street fashion brands WeSc, Gravis Vestal and True Love after a departure of over two years from UK tradeshows.</p>
<p>Other collections making their debut include London-based 1 in a 100 which produces limited-edition artist prints, Ideologie from America with organic and ethical clothing and Trikki which offers colourful t-shirts and cut-and-sew jackets. </p>
<p>Odysseas Constantine, the organiser of Margin, said: “Whilst Margin is primarily a launch-pad for new design talent, we’re happy to welcome credible larger brands when they’re independent-minded to show an edited selection of their most directional product that we feel is relevant to the key indie, department and multiply buyers that regularly visit us.”</p>
<p>Margin will run from August 1 to 2 at The Music Rooms, South Molton Lane in London.

MAKIA at MARGIN AUGUST 2010<br />
UK Debut at Margin London + A modern yet old fashioned clothing company, that reflects the Finnish tradition of simple,, straight-forward design.

Makia's collection includes knits, tees, bags, and a range of denim, as well as collaborations on footwear with fellow-Finland-label St Vacant who will also be exhibiting at Margin in August 2010.
