"Margin is known for it's ongoing support and nurturing of new emerging brands that are given the opportunity to showcase alongside some already well established labels and present their product to an exclusive selection of buyers and press." Fresh Habits
"Thanks Margin! Once again we were able to meet a great bunch of buyers, press and brands all in one room. The intimacy of the show is a real plus for an emerging brand like our own as you're not over-looked as you would be with other shows. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and great contacts were made in all areas of the industry. See you next year." Humdrum Apparel

"It was great to exhibit at Margin to celebrate it's tenth year. It’s always a pleasure to meet new and existing stockists in the friendly environment Margin creates. This season has been no exception with enquiries coming even before the show thanks to Margin's reputation and continued media exposure. A strong international store presence at the show is a sign of Margin's relentless commitment over the years to promoting up-and-coming designers and established brands." Seventyseven icon
"Thanks for having me! Wonderful show!!"
My Vintage Affair

"Thanks to the brands & customers present/new who we met at Margin over the past 2 days. It was an absolute pleasure!" Ichiban
"Trade shows can be a daunting experience for a start-up brand; making the first step can be difficult. That's when Margin comes into the equation. A true eclectic mix of similar-minded individuals, all with the same goal of achieving status within the industry. I can honestly say that by appearing at Margin, the brand has been able to make contact with previously impossible-to-reach figures mainly due to finance. Exposure to press, buyers and, as importantly, other brands starting-up has allowed Play Money to advance in leaps and bounds, and all this due to my valuable experience at Margin. Thanks again guys and a Happy 10th anniversary." Play Money
"We had a great time at Margin London, the perfect exhibition for 2wnt4's global debut. The setting was professional, yet intimate enough to allow buyers and press to get a feel for the collection and the people behind the brand. Definitely a good place to go whether you're an indie brand making your debut or looking for the next big thing!" 2wnt4

MARGIN IS A TRADE EVENT FOR INDUSTRY ONLY. MARGIN RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ADMISSION.
Our admissions policy is not the same as other trade events so we do not welcome all-comers in an attempt to swell visitor statistics.
MARGIN IS OPEN TO BUYERS, PRESS, MULTI-LABEL AGENTS & DISTRIBUTORS ONLY.
Margin exists to promote young upscale streetwear and directional tailoring labels. The trade fair exhibition Margin London was established to help new labels reach a wider buying and press audience. Organised by Odysseas Constantine, the trade shows Margin London were created out of necessity. Retailers travel the world looking for "the next big thing" but are never going to find it at a fashion tradeshow whose costs prohibit fresh talent which is where the Margin upscale streetwear exhibition plays a vital part.

The main drive of Margin London was to establish a show where new fashion brands and "up and coming" design talent could find an affordable platform to exhibit at Margin London and expose their collections with a directional edge to the UK & international fashion trade and press. Margin is a fashion exhibition in London presenting fashion collections from fashion labels based in London and internationally.
