Drapers NEWS INDEPENDENTS<br /> Margin boss calls for indies to star on website<br /> 12 June 2010 | By Eve Oxberry<br /> The founder of young fashion trade show Margin is finalising plans to launch a consumer website that will host video tours of indie stores from around the world.</p> <p>Show owner Odysseas Constantine said the website would be kept separate from Margin to ensure it was consumer-facing rather than trade-facing. A name for the site has yet to be finalised.</p> <p>The site will launch in October and feature store tours of indies including Sarah Coggles of York, Ju-Ju in Brighton and Elements in Norwich.</p> <p>Constantine has toured the country to make the videos and has invited any indie that is interested in being featured to contact him at info@margin.tv.</p> <p>Indies must have at least one bricks-and-mortar store and sell more than one brand to be considered for filming.</p> <p>If enough indies from one area apply, Constantine will visit that area to film on-site at the stores. He has just returned from Brighton and is now planning a trip to Middlesbrough for the next filming session, before heading to Rotterdam in the Netherlands in August.</p> <p>Constantine is yet to decide how the site will be funded, but said indies would never be charged a fee for being featured.</p> <p>The concept is being tested with a few videos on the www.margin.tv site and Constantine said the response had been positive. I-ve had tons of emails from buyers since the videos went live. Stores from across the UK and also as far afield as Spain want to get involved.</p> <p>Constantine has already filmed 15 indies and intends to have 100 videos completed in time for the sites launch.</p> <p>Ahead of the launch, Constantine will promote the new website via social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter and will also post the videos on video-sharing websites YouTube and Vimeo to drive traffic.<br />
