NO LOVE LOST
Hailing from Aberdeenshire in Scotland, No Love Lost is a brand new textile-driven label making their global debut exclusively at the 10 year edition of Margin in February 2012. Driven by a passion for graphic design and inspired by heirloom scarves, No Love Lost takes traditional fabrics such as tartan and gives them a digital twist to produce contemporary textiles on modern silhouettes. The combination of edgy prints on soft flowing silks in simple shapes has produced a winning collection of desirable clothing by No Love Lost.

OUT OF PRINT
Returning to Margin following their successful European debut in August 2011, Out of Print will be showcasing their latest library of literary prints. Perhaps it’s the love of a favourite book or perhaps it’s the faux-intellectualism of pretending to have read a classic tome when you haven’t; either way the Out of Print range of classic book covers printed onto butter-soft vintage-feel cotton tees, sweatshirts and tote bags, has proved a winning range that takes the typical rock-band tee to a different, more widely-read level. With ebooks on Kindles and iPads fast becoming a favoured medium, the nostalgia generated by the original paperback covers is irresistible. Out of Print will be exhibiting exclusively outside of the USA at the 10 year edition of Margin in February 2012.

SLOW DANCE
Making their European trade debut at the 10 year edition of Margin in February 2012, Slow Dance from Tokyo in Japan will be exhibiting their, quite frankly, dreamy range of womenswear. Creative pattern-cutting has produced a romantic range that is not only unique but also highly flattering with well-placed draping and swagging to hide those “problem” areas. All made in Japan from Japanese textiles, somehow Slow Dance pulls off the neat magic trick of being simultaneously relaxed yet dressy. Launched in 2009, Margin is pleased to welcome Slow Dance to the UK to present their trade debut outside of Japan as part of the long-running exchange programme with the IFF show in Tokyo.

ICHIBAN
Making their global trade debut at the 10 year edition of Margin in February 2012, Ichiban Clothing is a graphic-led UK streetwear label with a unique signature. With witty graphics and a wry social perspective that is rarely present in contemporary streetwear, Ichiban produces a limited-edition range of wearable art that is truly frame-worthy. The range by Ichiban, which translates to “number one” or “best”, includes tees, sweatshirts, snapbacks, and jackets.

SILENT WOOD
Silent Wood is a Moscow-based art collective known for their films, photography and art, who have now turned their talent to clothing. The debut collection consists of dresses in various fabric and colour combinations using high-quality textiles, and beautiful linings, that are comfortably simple yet elegant. Silent Wood will be making their trade debut outside of Russia at the 10 year edition of Margin in February 2012.
