“I had a really great show. As it was my first Margin and first trade show I wasn’t sure what to expect. As it turns out I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere generated in the room between lots of diverse and interesting labels. As a first timer I was also impressed with the level friendly but capable manner with which I was dealt with, by you and the Margin team. I came away from the show 100% certain I would be back, because even though we are all in business it doesnt have to be soulless.”

“Margin has a good buzz and a friendly vibe that buyers and exhibitors enjoy”

Printwise, entire garden scenes replaced single flowers, especially at the upscale streetwear show Margin, which ran at London’s Music Rooms, also from February 6-7. New Japanese brand VAMPSTAR, a fresh addition to Margin this season, went for the psychedelic version, while TYLER preferred a more naturalistic approach with a strong graphic undertone. The gothic motive craze of the last couple of seasons has given way to a far more domestic vibe. For a/w 2005-06, designers gave skulls and demons the boot, and went back to basics with everyday object prints such as light bulbs (SYNDROME), sunglasses (I SAVED LAURENCE) and pendant clocks (DEPHECT). Political messages mingled with humorous slogans such as HICK’s pig wording the slogan “I Stink, Therefore I Ham.”
At Margin, exhibitors, organizers and buyers alike were as fun-loving as ever, but focused enough to get down to serious business as well. The show is still, fittingly, marginal, but with big boys like XLARGE making an entrance, we hope that the intimate charm of the event will remain to be enjoyed for seasons to come.
