<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>

Where is Silas? (actually they’ll be back soon!)<br />
Posted July 17th, 2010 by admin and filed in Fashion </p>
<p>It is now over 3 years ago that Silas, one of the UK’s most inspirational streetwear labels, decided to call time on distributing to the European market. Well the great news for all the cult followers of the brand is they’re back, and looking pretty much like they’ve never been away!</p>
<p>Silas and Maria was founded back in 1998 by Russell Waterman and Sophia Pantera, and quickly grew into a globally recognised brand. Over the years they have collaborated with some very famous names and faces: James Jarvis (graphic artist and creator of the Amos Toys range and famed King Ken collection), Fergus ‘Fergadelic’ Purcell (renound graphic designer and founder of Tonite Clothing, and Gareth Skewis (one of the brains behind Pointer Footwear) just to name a few. With such a great team of designers and collaborators, Silas and Maria quickly began to put British streetwear to a global audience, and with the help of James Jarvis’ ‘Martin’ figure, they followed on by establishing a UK vinyl toy market.</p>
<p>Many of the UK’s finest and most famous streetwear boutiques such as ‘Bond International’, ‘Hanon Shop’ (who have managed to keep a Silas supply line going for the last 3 years via Japanese import) and the much missed ‘One 40 Five’ store in Brighton built much of their reputations around the success of the Silas and Maria brand. Many a time I personally travelled to the top of the Brighton Laines just to view and buy from the range, which was always complemented by a large range of James Jarvis toys. Somehow the likes of Stussy and Maharishi didn’t seem of that much interest alongside the Silas combination!</p>
<p>In 2006, when the founders decided to focus on other projects, the brand sadly closed nearly all its accounts outside of Japan leaving an army of devoted followers disappointed. That is until now, as Silas is set to return to the UK this summer! Despite being away in Japan for the last few years, they are still collaborating with cutting edge UK designers such as European Bob and shoe manufacturers George Cox, and the early indications are they could be making waves on their return!</p>
<p>Silas will be showing their new collection exclusively at Margin, the UK’s longest running independent tradeshow. Margin has run since August 2002, and has been the launching block for many new brands as well as supporting some of the biggest names on the streetwear scene. This years Margin on the 1st and 2nd of August will see the likes of Obey Clothing (who will be showing off their new ladies range) rub shoulders with not only Silas themselves, but also Gravis, Duffs, Dephect, Vestal and Misticon Clothing.</p>
<p>We are obviously pschyed to be seeing the new Silas stuff, and also look forward to checking out what other newly emerging brands are on offer. To check out what Silas have been up to you can still check out their website at www.silasandmaria.com and for further info on the 19th edition of the Margin show go here www.margin.tv

“As always Margin was a refreshing show to be at for Vestal. It’s always nice to see new faces and retailers that share the same passion and interest when buying for their stores as we do in presenting our brands. Our watch collection was again well received along with the launch of our new eyewear range Vestal Vision. Margin seems to have its own unique way of being able to create the right environment for exhibitors and retailers to do business. Thank you from all of us at Vestal.”

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.
