The set up of the show was cool, intimate and had a boutique sense to it. The 101 room was excellent to launch our brand, and the only way to accumulate such a wealth of industry contacts. We’ll be back in February but in the main room, it’s a bit bigger in there, with more established brands, which generated a bigger buzz. In short, Margin has provided us with a very high platform from which to launch our brand. The rest is up to us...” Stunt Double

"Now to the one show that made me smile & have a little hope that some one is working at something that makes a difference & makes sense…MARGIN. By far the best exhibition that I have seen this season in London. Excellent mixture of labels & product…divided into sections that compliment each other, & labels that can excite. I was very happy to see some interesting labels from afar as Mexico & as close as Finland…& even closer still East London. As for the Labels, was more impressed with their Ecological Labels than the ones at the Tents…they seem more relevant & a bit more on point…or maybe it was the hands on feel of these labels... enough to make me smile & be happy that there is one show that can still deliver…well done MARGIN. " Fatsarazzi

Sportswear International

"More interesting was Margin, which established its reputation for quirky boutique-driven collections." Drapers
