Margin London (Recap) 23 February, 2010 Last weekend we were fortunate enough to be invited along to the Margin trade exhibition in London to get a sneak peak at upcoming collections from a number of brands coming out of the UK and Europe. Over the two days we met a whole load of creative people and were able to see their forthcoming collections first hand, all in one space, which was a really valuable thing. For us it was all about the UK brands on show, with collections ranging from accessories to full menswear & womenswear lines and everything in between. There was certainly a lot to get round and see and as a result we made the trip over both days just to make sure we’d seen it all. With both established and start-up brands on show, Margin certainly had it all covered. Mr. Wingate – Great little brand from London with a big range of graphic tees and sweats. The attention to print and garment materials here really got us going, especially the use of puff inks on a few items. Check out the pub series too (see ‘The Macbeth’ tee above/left) which we felt was rather special. Mr Wingate is available from the new studio/shop in East London, or online here. My Yard – Bristol based artist focused clothing label with a big selection of bright t-shirts and sweatshirts. Their collection features the fine artistic talents of some of the UK’s best street artists and illustrators, including the likes of Nikill and Ben Normanton. Available through select UK retailers as well as the My Yard store in Bristol – keep an eye out for embroidered polo shirts and more coming for SS10 soon. I Am Five – Fresh new brand launched in 2009 with a hefty selection of T-shirts. Designs come with both added comedy value and just straight up simplicity. I loved the intrinsic British nature of the shirt designs, with the queen’s royal emblem and Sherlock Holmes silhouette making an appearance. Keep your eyes peeled for loads more from these guys soon. Ultramega – Brand new T-shirt brand based in London with some huge prints. Definitely one to keep an ‘eye’ on for the future. Check out more of the designs and purchase a few here. Lazy Oaf - One of the more established brands at Margin but still great to see what this brand have planned for 2010. With a new store set to open on March 4th and a lot of exciting product releases scheduled, this is set to be a big year for Lazy Oaf. Look out for the new 5 panel caps and some pretty exciting T-shirt designs dropping soon. Mr. Jones Watches – Crispin Jones creates limited watches with very individual twists. The Decider helps you deal with those tough decisions, The Cyclops offers a more relaxed way to tell the time and The Accurate is “the most accurate wristwatch you can buy” – the hour hand reads “remember” and the minute hand reads “you will die”. All these styles and more are available here. Zelley Bespoke – Our personal favourite brand on show at Margin, a bespoke sneaker lace company based in Norwich. Zelley Bespoke allows you the opportunity to design your own custom sneaker laces any colour, any shape or size, but with a very special touch. Each lace is tipped with a variety of metals and gemstones of your choice. Chose anything from silver tips with cubic zirconia all the way through gold and rubies to platinum tipped laces with inset diamonds! A huge look for any sneakerhead. Keep your eyes on The Daily Street for more from all the brands above. Big thanks to Margin for having us along to the event, we’ll see you again next year. More info on the show here.

Guess who we fell in Love with at Margin London? When?: 14 February 2010 : 2:00 pm : We went to check out Margin London on Valentines day (no sadly we didn’t get swept of our feet by our Valentine hunks…) to see for ourselves what street wear has in store for us. Well, for one, there were a lot of t-shirts with great prints but that’s not all of course, we met some exciting designers and cannot wait to get to know them better but here are our highlights: Jojo & Mac An old favourite as I’ve been eyeing up her cardigans for a while!! There is an exciting new range on top of the lovely cardigans but all will be revealed another time. (www.jojoandmac.info) Uncommonly Beautiful If it’s good for the environment, it’s good for us, actually it’s more than good!! We love to see designers being inventive with material and Uncommonly Beautiful does just that. All their jewellery comes from recycled material but again… more to come! (www.uncommonlybeautiful.com) Mr Wingate Although known for his print and t-shirts but we’ve noticed his wall papers and just had to talk to him. Turns out he’s been a busy man with a shop opening just around the corner where he will showcase his interior skills and hopefully we can get our hands on some wallpaper. (www.wingateprint.com) Akira Mushi We love the versatility of the Greek duo’s collection. You can wrap it around and wear it in many different ways. If you are wondering where the name comes from, it’s both of their dogs name, how cute! I’m wondering what type of dogs they are… (www.akiramushi.com) There were lots more designers we loved, but we won’t overwhelm you – instead we’ll cover the ones we loved in lots more detail!

Margin London Feb 14-15, 2010, London, UK New & International Labels flock to Margin London, the Upscale Streetwear & Directional Tailoring Trade Show 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. About Margin The longest-running independent trade event in London, Margin is an intimate and credible showroom of edited design talent with the next exhibition being the 18th edition + Nearly eight years strong, Margin is a proven and established trade exhibition linking fresh talent with key press and buyers (many of whom do not like going to traditional trade shows) + The Original and the best platform for new talent for over seven years, Margin was established to help new labels reach a wider buying and press audience + Retailers travel the world looking for the next big thing but are never going to find up-and-coming designers at a show whose costs prohibit fresh talent + +++ Margin is a curated event where Buyers, Editors, and Stylists know they can find great new labels season after season and don't have to wade through hall after hall of established brands to find directional new products to offer their readers or shoppers. +++ Spaces are limited to appropriate brands only that have a directional edge and something new to offer + at larger events where mainstream brands take centre-stage and priority, new labels can often be an opportunity missed. Since the exhibitions first started back in 2002, Margin can lay claim to providing the successful trade launch-pad for many brands such as Supremebeing, Lady Luck Rules OK, Dephect, Emily & Fin, EIO, Missmilne, Worn Free, Chateau Roux, Your Eyes Lie, Sugarhill, King Apparel, Terratag, Lazy Oaf, Famous Forever, Yamama, and Ruby Rocks, as well as the UK launching point of overseas brands including Upper Playground, Eastpak Apparel, Loreak Mendian, Syndrome, Nooka, Gama-Go, Mimobots, Double Goose, Stereo Sound Agency, Diamond Supply Co, Urban Originals, Uzi, and Z-Boy amongst many others. Margin has welcomed key stores to the exhibitions since first launching in 2002; from department stores, such as Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Liberty, House of Fraser, Psyche, Fenwick, El Corte Ingles, Saks 5th Avenue, Galleries Lafayette, & Engelhorn Trendhaus; online players like ASOS, My-Wardrobe, and Urban Industry; multiples such as Ark, Joy, Beams, Ships, and Westworld; as well as the key independents Margin is renowned for, including Colette, Hip, Sakis, Wood, Souvenir, Royal Cheese, Natterjacks, 90sqm, Coggles, Market, Atoo, Remixx, My Yard, Donuts, Ace, Lunacy, Savage, Fortyfive, Bread & Honey, American Retro, Bespoke, Wallace, and Cutie, to name a few.

Am Puls der Margin Am 3.8.09 von rahel noch kein KommentarHeute ist Sommer in London und ich lasse bei einer Tasse Tee für 1.50 Pfund, auf dem Dach eines kleinen Cafés in Shoreditch, die Margin Revue passieren. Nicht alles ist teuer in London. Oft trifft man unvermittelt Kostbarkeiten. Die Tradeshow, die wir im Frühjahr schon besuchen durften, fühlte sich auch dieses Mal wieder ganz besonders an. Ungezwungen und echt, wie die Mode Londons. Als wäre alles Intuition und Zufall. Für jeden etwas dabei. So stolperte ich dort über Candy-Schmuck von “Girl From Blue City”, der mir zwar das Wasser im Mund zusammen laufen ließ, aber keine klebrigen Finger machte. Rhian Lewis gestaltet seit fünf Jahren qualitätvollen Schmuck und greift dabei bewusst auf farbenfrohen Retrokitsch und Pop Art zurück. Als nächstes kitzelten mir die Prints von Mr. Wingate die Augen. Seine besonderen Shirts, die er im Osten Londons druckt, sind teils von der Op-Art inspiriert. Dagegen spielt seine Hochhausserie mit dem Standpunkt des Betrachters, der sich fragen muss, bin ich Frosch oder Vogel. Jojo and Mac lassen sich von dem Lieblingsstück der Queen inspirieren, das Strickjäckchen. Heraus kommt ein klassisch strenger Schnitt, der mit verspieltem Design und Applikationen funkelt. Ein Hoch auf Odysseas, der es schafft den Querdenkern und jungen Genies der Modeszene eine Plattform zu bieten. Dank der Margin wird der Puls des Londoner Mode- und Lebensstils greifbar. http://kinkimag.com/blog/am-puls-der-margin/

Better Never Than Late / BNTL +

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Monday, 3 August 2009 Margin 09 Today me and Big Ron were invited down to the Margin Trade Show at the Music Rooms. Margin is Londons only independent trade show that hand picks brands from around the world that they feel will benefit from the exposure of a London trade show. Retailers, buyers and distributors are all invited down along with the press. Here are a pick of mine and Ronnies favourite brands... Vestal featured as an established brand and it was a good chance to check out some of their new colletion... A brand called Germain Minette had a really interesting background, they were looking to move their brand into the European market after doing really well in Asia as well as having a flagship stored planned for opening in Shanghai. New label Unequal Balance were launching their first collection at Margin and with a solid range of prints they also had a couple of cut and sew bits... Trousers London a brand I was introduced to last year were back and the update from the camp was that the brand is doing very well, stocked in two places in London and still seeing good trade overseas. The quality of the denim was the first thing you noticed and also some of the attention to detail was encouraging... Another brand I saw last year was Conquer whos designs were concentrated on etchey pencil illustrations. The ladies vest top was said to be one of their best sellers. Ladies brand Jojo & Mac had a nice, playful collection. Bits included cardigans, pullovers and woolly jumpers... The brand Arms definetly stole the show for me, their whole line was cut and sew with a very clean and classic feel to the collection. They are based in Dublin and are looking for more stockists nationwide. If this first collection is anything to go by then I expect to be seeing and hearing a lot more from Arms... On the whole Margin looks like a great success, in this current climate its good to see new brands working hard to make a name for themselves. Not just throwing out prints either, its plain to see a lot of investment, time and design has gone into the majority of brands showcasing. Shout to Odyseas the man behind Margin... More information on all the brands that featured can be found on the Margin website here.
