Lady Sovereign at Margin Tuesday, 12 January 2010 Worn by rapper Lady Sovereign whilst entering the Big Brother show, streetwear brand Lazy Oaf instantly received its 15 minutes of fame. The acclaimed musician signed to Jay Z's Def Jam records, and wore besides a Lazy Oaf t-shirt, a pyramid necklace, and two other Lazy Oaf garments in the house monitored by cameras 24-hours a day. Lady Sovereign is no official spokesperson for the brand, but purchased the Lazy Oaf goods herself. Comments on the social media pages were rather supportive of Lady Sovereign’s decision to swap her Adidas tracksuits for the directional streetwear brand. Lazy Oaf debuted at Margin in 2003 and has grown over the years into a global brand. The streetwear label has a flagship store in Soho and has over 150 stockists worldwide including key stockists such as Parisian boutique Colette and Selfridges. Lazy Oaf will be exhibiting their current range for immediate delivery and new designs for pre-orders at the February 2010 edition of the Margin London. It will be the 18th edition of the independent UK trade event, taking place on 14-15th February 2010 at The Music Rooms in London.

Young fashion beats credit crunch Tuesday, 12 May 2009 Whilst the economical downturn seems to have no effect on young consumers, emerging streetwear labels keep on growing. Budding brands that exhibit at London tradeshow Margin and retailers that source from the bi-annual fashion fair are led to believe to be immune to the credit crunch. Margin is a trade-only event which showcases mens and womens upscale streetwear and directional tailoring with the next edition on the 2nd and 3rd of August 2009. With collections targeting a younger market, buyers and brands are questioning media coverage on a recession that has, so far, failed to impact on their businesses. Buyers who visited the February 2009 edition of Margin, the first edition since the word ‘recession’ was publicly referred to by economists and politicians, reported that their business was unaffected and, in most cases, profit was up year on year. Exhibiting reaffirmed buoyant trading with many taking orders at the same level as previous pre-recession seasons as well as signing up new accounts. Regular Margin exhibitor Ray Buckley of womenswear label Yamama confirmed that he
