“This show was totally amazing for Frank & Faith, we may be an Eco fashion brand but we want our ethics to be the norm not the exception. Coming to Margin meant we were opened up to great boutiques, buyers and press who just loved us because we are a great indie fashion brand with soul. We were non-stop busy and we are more than happy with the new accounts and orders we took, great show, great location and a fantastic atmosphere.”
