	MARGIN LONDON MOVES TO MAYFAIR With major construction and restoration work taking place at the previous venue for the foreseeable future, Margin is pleased to announce that the upscale streetwear and directional tailoring trade show will be returning to Mayfair and the clean white minimalist gallery space of The Music Rooms. Regular visitors will know that The Music Rooms was the home of Margin for eight successful editions from 2003 to 2005, and is based in the heart of the West End. Just behind the famous shopping area of South Molton Street and in between Bond Street & Oxford Street, Margin will be central to all other Mens & Womens trade events taking place on the same dateline in west & east London during London Market Week. Margin has always been a curated event and the organisers are embracing the white showroom space at The Music Rooms to hone the edited brands on offer even further. Margin organiser Odysseas Constantine explained that "As much as we enjoyed the previous venue, the building work taking place means we feel we have to move the show but we realise that international and out-of-town buyers that visit Margin like to keep up-to-date on retail developments by checking out central London stores so we're keeping the show in W1. We know what the successful visiting buyers and press want and they tell us that they love Margin for its central location and the edited offering of fresh brands." Firmly established amongst credible retailers as a key show to discover new and young brands, Constantine believes the move will help Margin sharpen the focus of the show and keep the selection tight unlike larger events that have to fill halls with all-comers. "With the size of the gallery space of The Music Rooms dictating the maximum number of labels that can take part, we can filter applications to ensure we're offering an exciting, directional and, most importantly, profitable brand line-up. This means buyers can spend more time ordering and less time hunting out new and interesting labels which can be a real downside of larger events. As always, labels that take part at Margin have to merit their place in the show." The 16th edition of Margin London is on the 8th & 9th February 2009 and will be open from 10am until 6pm on both days. Venue Map online at: www.margin.tv/map
