Margin stays ahead of the game Written by Steph Pomphrey at 21:35 on July 16th, 2008 Six years and counting. Margin is still at the forefront of new streetwear fashion talent, providing an affordable stage where other shows fail to deliver. With five areas one might assume a big show, but this is where Margin differs by providing an unpretentious vibe and selected brands. Tru Thoughts are providing the soundtrack to the show; Fatsarazzi is displaying his photographic skills in the Lounge area; and SELVAGE is the new denim area to add to the existing GILD, KREATEUR, SPACE101 and TEE ROOM areas. New brands at the show include Nooka Watches, Helen Rochfort, Ultrarama, Violet Elegance, Super Superficial, Trousers London, Nu Jeans, Allopop, Dagg & Stacey, Missmilne, Emily & Fin…….. So if you’re a buyer, editor, stylist, fashion blogger, pr monkey, or simply at a loose end (within reason) then make it to Margin and get some inspiration. These brands are there because they have something new to offer, and we could do all with a bit of direction occasionally right? Margin - 3rd, 4th & 5th August
