margin london   Date: 01/02/2010      NEW & INTERNATIONAL LABELS FLOCK TO MARGIN LONDON +     With over 50% of exhibitors making their global launch at the upscale streetwear & directional tailoring exhibition, Margin in London is the one and only trade event at which to discover exciting new design talent. More than half of the show, which is being held at The Music Rooms in Mayfair, is made up of brand new emerging designers who have chosen Margin as their global launchpad to meet with key buyers from directional independent, multiple and department stores, as well as consumer and trade fashion press.    Taking place on the 14th & 15th February 2010, Margin also sees the return of many previous exhibitors who have successfully launched and grown their wholesale business at Margin London including UK brands such as Lazy Oaf, Mr Wingate, Junkfunk, Conquer, Me & Zena, My Yard, and Ultrarama, as well as international brands such as Mimobots, St Vacant, Germain Minette, and Vestal Watches.     The February 2010 edition of Margin is a truly international event with exhibitors from Austria, China, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Latvia, and the USA joining homegrown talent from across the UK & Ireland; and many international buyers have pre-registered to visit, from countries such as France, Germany, Greece, Japan, Italy, Ukraine, and Russia.    With UK buyers from large stores such as House of Fraser, Fenwicks, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Williams & Griffin, Joy, and ASOS already pre-registered, plus the many independent boutiques Margin is well-known for consistently welcoming season after season, clued-up buyers from key stores understand that Margin is the prime location to discover new and directional design to offer their consumers a real point of difference from the competition.      The February 2010 edition will be the 18th, which not only makes Margin the longest-running independent trade exhibition in London, but also maintains the position of Margin as the most successful, affordable and directional event that gives new and emerging designers a high-profile and order-writing platform to meet with key buyers and press.

Margin London: eine kleine aber feine Modemesse! Am 30.7.09 von florence noch kein Kommentar  Wir haben es versprochen, die Margin London prangt schon seit Monaten dick in unserer Agenda! Nach der Reizüberflutung und dem Marathon zwischen den Hallen der BBB kommt uns die intim gehaltene Modemesse in London gerade recht.    Präsentiert werden am 2. & 3. August 09 sorgfältig selektierte britische und internationale Labels, die sich der gängigen Tendenz nach, von der anfänglich eher sportlichen Streetwear hin zu einem alltagstauglichen, gehobenen Streetchic bewegen. Neben den aufstrebenden, meist noch unbekannten Brands stellen auch ausgesuchte Künstler ihre Werke aus.  So präsentiert sich die ganze Messe in intimer Atmosphäre und mit viel Charme – wie ihr in Rahels letztjährigem Bericht nachlesen könnt – als würde man die Wohnung oder den Ankleideschrank eines befreundeten Stylisten oder Modefanatikers besuchen. In diesem Fall ist der Bekannte Odysseas, der die künstlerische Modemesse vor acht Jahren ins Leben rief und mit seiner persönlichen Labelauswahl und Stilsicherheit unser modisches Vertrauen heraufbeschwört.  Zu entdecken wird es Mode- und auch Schmuckbrands wie Jojo & Mac, Antoinette, Itsus und Germain Minette geben, die an der Margin ihr industrielles Debüt geben und Streetwear Künstler wie Lazy Oaf oder Tri vo of Syke.Wer sich am kommenden Wochenende weder in London befindet, noch im Fashionsegment tätig ist (um Anmeldung wird gebeten!), der kann auch auf der Website von Margin stöbern und das ein oder andere Lieblingslabel ausfindig machen. Als Liebhaber von allem was independent, fashion & artsy ist, wird das kinki magazine als Medienpartner natürlich vor Ort präsent sein, über Mode diskutieren und mit Tee auf bessere Zeiten anstossen, bis wir uns all die schmucken Kleidungsstücke auch leisten können!  Margin London Trade Show Wann: Sonntag 2. & Montag 3. August 2009, 10-18 Uhr Wo: The Music Rooms, South Molton Lane, London W1     http://kinkimag.com/blog/margin-london/

International Fashion Focus at Margin London  Fashion Event Article Posted June 2, 2009    The February 2009 edition of Margin, the London tradeshow for upscale streetwear and directional tailoring, saw a significant increase in buyers from across Europe & Japan driven by the weaker pound and stronger Euro, and the August 2009 edition is on track to be the most international mix of exhibiting brands to date.     Buyers from across Germany, Belgium, France, Spain and The Netherlands descended on The Music Rooms in Mayfair to visit Margin and, courtesy of a wallet-friendly exchange rate, source more affordable and directional wares from UK designers. Equally UK buyers reported that the stronger Euro meant cutting back on overseas trade shows and instead decided to buy on the doorstep from brands at Margin.      For UK buyers still keen to source unique international designers, without the expense of overseas travel, Margin is welcoming many overseas brands to the August 2009 edition of the exhibition. Already confirmed are exhibitors from countries including Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, and Thailand, who will be showcasing their ranges alongside new and young UK designers.

Wgsn July 2006 Report

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Margin, renowned for its upscale streetwear and directional tailoring, has been one of the best platforms for new talent for the last four years. WGSN reports from London.
Attracting a host of new names, Margin had the biggest show to date covering 9,000 sq ft. The show made the move to the new venue of the Horticultural Halls to accommodate growing ranges of labels that have been exhibiting at Margin since its beginning.Not only is the number of exhibitors increasing, labels such as Dephect and Lazy Oaf, which used to manage with only one rail as a stand, have successfully grown their business and ranges accordingly, consequently requiring more space. Hopefully this won’t jeopardize the intimacy normally praised at Margin shows, and we continue to see fresh directional brands showcasing and debuting.Over 60 exhibitors attended, with at least half making their debut at Margin. This season, five new Finnish brands had chosen the show for their first UK appearance. These included Annukka Takala, Keto, and Zukale & Huoviala, which are all recent graduates or students of the University of Art and Design, Helsinki.WGSN loves directional, sultry womenswear label Tiia Vanhatapio and the designer’s baby range Quelle Jolie Bebe. Vanhatapio’s two ranges were undoubtedly one of the highlights of the show.Margin has also organised an exchange program with International Fashion Fair (Tokyo) and chose Japanese menswear label Agent Knock Peaceful to exhibit in London. London-based womenswear streetwear brand Girlgang showed at IFF Tokyo in July.Margin is held at the same time as TBC each season, falling on Sunday and Monday of a designated week. Margin is great for attracting international buyers to London.

The overall impression for the show this year as it continues to increase in size with its great new venue, is that it is slightly more commercial than previous years but is still gaining the enthusiasm that makes it so special. FULL REPORT HERE
