Margin London Autumn/Winter 2010-11 Edition Despite being the longest-running independent trade event in London, Margin remains a fringe affair and an untapped resource for emerging street wear and young fashion labels. These brands are born out of personal passions often created with handcrafted touches and finishes with local sourcing at the core whether it be the UK or Latvia. DENIM Laundry Maid Jeans are a relatively new name in the premium denim market utilising the British tendency for expert tailoring to produce high quality cuts with meticulous attention to detail and perfect constructional finishing. Futurism inspires Hypnosis’ fashion-forward denim collection, littered with deconstructed detailing from off-centre button fly fastening, twisted seams and dropped-crotch cuts. ACCESSORIES Margin is a hotbed for quirky one-off jewellery brands. We loved Sansonnet, a Tokyo based label whose pretty pieces resembled re-worked antiques meets kiddy-craft kit - very Harajuku. Hannah Makes Things is another fun brand, specialising in pendants ranging from mini donuts to rainbows to cassette tapes! One of the highlight accessories concepts was Sneakart – a range of durable but removable, art-inspired stickers that can be adapted to customise any sports shoe shape. GRAPHIC TEES As expected, graphic tees abound at street wear shows and Margin was no exception. Each label seem to major in art first, t-shirt printing second producing some original graphic ideas in the process. Bristol-based label My Yard commissions local graphic artists to produce designs for the tee label in a range of eye-popping colours. Conquer is rooted in fine-art with the design team producing intricate illustrations which are then applied using a specially developed printing method to ensure the clearest transfer. Finally, Junkfunk is a Brighton-based label entrenched in typography and revolutionary-flavoured graphic design (think Spanish civil war slogans and Cold War motifs). READY TO WEAR There was something for everyone, RTW-wise. Hysteric Asteria designer Alexia Kirmitsi has developed a reversible webbed/inverted knit technique that adorns oversized jumpers and trims jersey dresses. Brighton-based Jojo & Mac produced knitted jumpers and cardigans with cutesy motifs like all-over YSL style strawberries and large placement cats. Germaine Minette brought a range of detailed mens shirting with subtle panelled collars, contrast inserts and lining and wonky welt pockets. 21dgrs are a truly global brand, designed in Hamburg, based and manufactured in Bali, sold in the far-reaches of the Southern hemisphere- even Byron Bay! The collection is diverse with hand-dyed silk dresses, printed tees and detailed washed sweats. Found comprised of unique items creatively salvaged from vintage garments and fabrics.

Kunterbunte Tradeshow Am 16.2.10 von rahel Als wären die Leute aus ihrem Winterschlaf erwacht, wirkt London bunter und lebendiger die Tage. Vorbei der graue Alltag mit vereisten Gehwegen, nutzlos bestreut mit einer Packung Küchensalz und vernebelt durch die Abgaswolken der Gasheizungen. Die Mode ruft. Letzte Vorbereitungen, die Fashionweek ist in ihren Startlöchern. Wo man sich umschaut, finden sich Trade- und Modeshows. Da ist selbst Topshop, der britische H&M, vorne an und fordert auf sich aufzubrezeln. Es heisst sehen und gesehen werden, da Street Hunter und Fashion Ikonen die Stadt unsicher machen. So ist also auch wieder Zeit für die Margin (14.-15. Februar 2010), auf die wir uns zweimal im Jahr freuen. Odysseas ruft alle Jungdesigner und Kreative zusammen und hat auch dieses Jahr keine Mühen gespart, für uns ein Reich der Sinne zu zaubern. Den Dandy in uns spricht Germain Minette an. Herrenhemden in Pastelltönern mit besonderen Abnähern und symmetrischen Formen verleihen dem Herrn nicht nur einen metrosexuellen Look sondern bringen auch Frische in den Kleiderschrank. Mr. Jones Watches möchte mit seinem Design die letzten Fragen der Menschheit lösen. Für überforderte Individuen entwarf er eine Uhr, die Entscheidungen übernimmt. Im Sekundentakt wechselt das Zifferblatt von Ja auf Nein und wieder zurück. Aber auch für Charaktere, die ihren Tag gerne konventionell einteilen, entwarf er eine Uhr. Sie hält einem die tägliche Routine auf dem Zifferblatt vor Augen. Für customize Fans entwarf SneakArt eine Klebefolie mit der man seine Schuhe ganz individuell und in jeder Form selbst bekleben kann. Das Design reicht von Kinderzeichnung bis zur Blumentapete. Unsere Lust am Schuhkauf wird dies kaum bremsen, aber es könnte den Mauerblümchen im Schuhschrank zu neuem Glanz verhelfen. Mit Lust auf Mode befreit sich das graue winterliche London. Bei so viel Inspiration und Träumen kann der Frühling mit seinem spärlichen Blumenschmuck in den Vorgärten gerne noch auf sich warten lassen. http://kinkimag.com/blog/kunterbunte-tradeshow/
