Margin London Feb 14-15, 2010, London, UK     New & International Labels flock to Margin London, the Upscale Streetwear & Directional Tailoring Trade Show     With over 50% of exhibitors making their global launch at the upscale streetwear & directional tailoring exhibition, Margin in London is the one and only trade event at which to discover exciting new design talent. More than half of the show, which is being held at The Music Rooms in Mayfair, is made up of brand new emerging designers who have chosen Margin as their global launchpad to meet with key buyers from directional independent, multiple and department stores, as well as consumer and trade fashion press.  Taking place on the 14th & 15th February 2010, Margin also sees the return of many previous exhibitors who have successfully launched and grown their wholesale business at Margin London including UK brands such as Lazy Oaf, Mr Wingate, Junkfunk, Conquer, Me & Zena, My Yard, and Ultrarama, as well as international brands such as Mimobots, St Vacant, Germain Minette, and Vestal Watches.  The February 2010 edition of Margin is a truly international event with exhibitors from Austria, China, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Latvia, and the USA joining homegrown talent from across the UK & Ireland; and many international buyers have pre-registered to visit, from countries such as France, Germany, Greece, Japan, Italy, Ukraine, and Russia.  With UK buyers from large stores such as House of Fraser, Fenwicks, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Williams & Griffin, Joy, and ASOS already pre-registered, plus the many independent boutiques Margin is well-known for consistently welcoming season after season, clued-up buyers from key stores understand that Margin is the prime location to discover new and directional design to offer their consumers a real point of difference from the competition.  The February 2010 edition will be the 18th, which not only makes Margin the longest-running independent trade exhibition in London, but also maintains the position of Margin as the most successful, affordable and directional event that gives new and emerging designers a high-profile and order-writing platform to meet with key buyers and press.  About Margin  The longest-running independent trade event in London, Margin is an intimate and credible showroom of edited design talent with the next exhibition being the 18th edition + Nearly eight years strong, Margin is a proven and established trade exhibition linking fresh talent with key press and buyers (many of whom do not like going to traditional trade shows) +  The Original and the best platform for new talent for over seven years, Margin was established to help new labels reach a wider buying and press audience + Retailers travel the world looking for the next big thing but are never going to find up-and-coming designers at a show whose costs prohibit fresh talent +  +++ Margin is a curated event where Buyers, Editors, and Stylists know they can find great new labels season after season and don't have to wade through hall after hall of established brands to find directional new products to offer their readers or shoppers. +++ Spaces are limited to appropriate brands only that have a directional edge and something new to offer + at larger events where mainstream brands take centre-stage and priority, new labels can often be an opportunity missed.  Since the exhibitions first started back in 2002, Margin can lay claim to providing the successful trade launch-pad for many brands such as Supremebeing, Lady Luck Rules OK, Dephect, Emily & Fin, EIO, Missmilne, Worn Free, Chateau Roux, Your Eyes Lie, Sugarhill, King Apparel, Terratag, Lazy Oaf, Famous Forever, Yamama, and Ruby Rocks, as well as the UK launching point of overseas brands including Upper Playground, Eastpak Apparel, Loreak Mendian, Syndrome, Nooka, Gama-Go, Mimobots, Double Goose, Stereo Sound Agency, Diamond Supply Co, Urban Originals, Uzi, and Z-Boy amongst many others.  Margin has welcomed key stores to the exhibitions since first launching in 2002; from department stores, such as Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Liberty, House of Fraser, Psyche, Fenwick, El Corte Ingles, Saks 5th Avenue, Galleries Lafayette, & Engelhorn Trendhaus; online players like ASOS, My-Wardrobe, and Urban Industry; multiples such as Ark, Joy, Beams, Ships, and Westworld; as well as the key independents Margin is renowned for, including Colette, Hip, Sakis, Wood, Souvenir, Royal Cheese, Natterjacks, 90sqm, Coggles, Market, Atoo, Remixx, My Yard, Donuts, Ace, Lunacy, Savage, Fortyfive, Bread & Honey, American Retro, Bespoke, Wallace, and Cutie, to name a few.

Yesterday I ventured down to Margin to check out the show & see the Boards we had created , & get a general over view of one of my favourite shows in LONDON.    1stly there was no TBC this season & PURE was on, but I wanted to hear & see the traffic that hopefully would pass through.    At 1st sight it seemed busy enough for 1.00pm on a Monday afternoon, but I went a dug a little deeper to see what was good & what I found interesting.    SO I am not going to give it to you by section...I am just going to Ramble about the labels that I like.    VIOLENT ELEGANCE  Stefan & Jana have got something here. This is a T-Shirt company based in Berlin & they are very inspired by The Bauhaus. Simple Prints with excellent colour choices of Fluros, Black & White. The stark contrast in the colours & monochrome mixes makes something so simple into something very special. I real like what they are & probably my favourite thing in the show.  They have been going for a year now & with their ethic & style...I think they will be around for a few more years to come.    SHOE MISSY  Ok You all know I got a thing for Shoes...& these shoes are no exception. Anna has been at this for 4 years. She started making commissioned orders & offering a Bespoke service, & then moved on to On Line sales which accounts for appx 60% of the sales made. Love a good On Line story : )  Last season was all based on the UK Burlesque scene, & this season is all based on 50s travel. Excellent shoes at very competitive prices.    ME & ZENA?Really nice quirky & pop jewelry. No your usual stuff & very on point. The pendants are really nice & there is a lot to like.    BROWN NY  A new venture for this company who makes some excellent Coats in Fleece, Wool & Knits. As well as some nice corsetry & dresses. There are even a few cheap & cheerful dresses that would a few ladies I know happy. It is the 1st jump into the UK & Europe, so stop by & show them some love.    PITCHBLACK  No here is a man who has his eye on the Luxury Lifestyle market & intends to attack it bit by bit & make his mark.  Started by making bespoke orders for the soft tailoring that they offer, & now have expanded the collection into something a little more, & something that opens up the vision & intent of Pitchblack. Good stuff.    KYOTO DENIM  Always like a good story behind a product. Kyoto DEnim have taken all the technique for making traditional Kimonos and applied it to denim. The way they dye & print is all following an ancient tradition. A time consuming process that ends up with a really nice, special product. They are Jeans, but not as we know it.    GONSALVES & HALL  I was drawn to them by their Buttons, yes they use Liberty Print Buttons on all their product which for me was a nice touch. Really nice coats & separates. Lots of flowing ties around the neck lines & waist that create really extensive bows & the like. I like this line & can see it doing rather well.    INFECTED  I like Eddie Williams, the owner of INFECTED, he really knows what his label is about & what he is trying to do. They have been going for a while now & have a big presence on line &have been regular suppliers to URBAN OUTFITTERS.  All their product is UK based & UK inspired...touching on the Multi Cultures of the UK & how they have sprung subcultures that continue to inspire the world over. Loved their shirting...excellent.    MYSTIC BULGARIA  I was curious about this label, as I wanted to know if they were from Bulgaria or was it just a name. But yes they are from Bulgaria, & they have something of their own going on. Their Denim was quirky & had a Lolita feel to it. The printed Satins of next season offer another angle to what it is they are doing. Nice people & good to see something like that coming out of Bulgaria. Keep it Up.    VAULT  Loved the colour palette...& the colour palette was inspired by just that...a Bank Vault with all the steel & the colours that reflect of the metal etc. Really nice product & the concept is packaged really well. This label would sit well in any store...& they are such nice people too. Modern Urban wear & Classic Tailoring...you can not really go wrong.    JOHNNY LOVE  The missing link between Hugo Boss & Levis was how John described it to me, & yes I can see it. All about shape & fit...patterns take precedent here. I did like the vibe of the label & more to the point liked how they looked to securing their Local Norwegian market before attempting to take on the world.   Loved the Nylon Jackets...really nice, & yes...the fit is Good.    ELANORE DE RUUK  Now I really like creative pattern making & Elanore does not let me down. She has some excellent pieces in her collection & the panelling & way the garments work look really nice & you can see that this lady is passionate about what she is doing. If I could say that there was one label a little lost at Margin it is Elanores...not because it is not right, more that is it out there & has no place to put it. Elanore has some thing special going on...take a look & you will see what I mean.    TROUSERS LONDON  Hands down my No 1 of Margin...consistency is a good thing & these people do just that. They stay with their vision & there jeans are excellent. & for a basic loving person like me...thanks for doing a basic 5 pocket for old school fools like me. No on the real go & buy this denim, if only to be working with such excellent people.    Well that is my brief report on Margin...but to get it for real...go their yourself & check it out. You may find what i say is all rubbish, as you may find something else that gets you...but you will not unless you get down there.    Be Well.
