TO BE FRANK
Making their global trade debut at Margin in February 2012, ToBeFrank is a brand new range of premium menswear with an emphasis on ethical and transparent manufacturing. The debut collection from ToBeFrank includes jackets, trousers, and shirting, all handmade in London, as well as knitwear handknitted in Yorkshire. This new brand lives up to their name to be honest as every piece comes with a USB detailing the garment’s provenance, from the source of the fabric to details of the machinist sewing the seams.

SEVENTYSEVEN
A long-standing Margin exhibitor (they launched at Margin back in August 2003 and have exhibited several times over the 10 years of shows), Seventyseven return for the 10 year edition in February 2012 with their music-inspired range of menswear. Drawing their influences from classic vinyl art, strong t-shirt prints remain a cornerstone for Seventyseven, who have also expanded to include shirting, jackets, and a limited-edition ‘Made in GB’ heritage collection.

THOM WILL LOVE
Making their global trade debut at Margin, Thom Will Love is a new lifestyle brand making sports-inspired clothing for men and women. Designed and made in London from carefully-selected high quality and performance fabrics, Thom Will Love combines bold asymetric colour blocking with monochrome tones and classic shapes to create future-inspired streetwear.

Trikki
Following their global trade debut at Margin in August 2010, Trikki are returning to Margin with their latest collection of menswear. Manufactured ethically in Portugal, the Trikki range of premium streetwear includes jackets, tops, tees, trousers, and denim. Profilic bloggers and tweeters, Trikki have already amassed a core fanbase of consumers & musicians eager to see what the brand produces next.
