Drapers Margin Report

Drapers Stephen's helpline Rustle up some sales by hitting the shows Raise the profile of your brand by exhibiting at a suitable trade fair We are a young T-shirt company in its first season and would like to exhibit at a trade show - do you think this is a good idea for a T-shirt brand, and if so, which show should we attend? Trade shows are a really good way to get your product out into the market, and streetwear exhibitions have a real buzz about them. The biggest fair is Bread & Butter (www.breadandbutter.com), which runs in Barcelona every season and covers everything from the biggest denim hitters through to smaller skate and street wear brands. If you want to start out with something a bit smaller, then you should investigate Margin (www.margin.tv). This takes place in London once each season and would be a good introduction to the trade show world.

Three Ethical Denim Brands by Leonora Oppenheim At the Margin London tradeshow earlier this week a boggling 90 labels were on show, 60 of which were brand new proving that in its sixth year Margin is still the place to go to find new talent in streetwear. Keeping our eye out for organic and fair trade labels in particular, we were pleased to find three new denim brands that we think will be making some noise on the fashion scene with their collections for Spring/Summer 09. Trousers London appeared to be the most directional label with unusual tailoring not often seen in denim and beautiful detailing including zips, braiding and bespoke silk pocket linings. Using organic cotton from Turkey, the jeans are handmade in Italy. Their first collection for Fall/Winter 08 catered only to the boys, but this season girls will get some Trouser action too. NU is a French label that made its London debut at Margin this week. A funky street brand with a touch of the eco-rebel about them, they have styles for men and women in varying weights of organic African denim. Their Fair Trade production unit is located in Tunisia, where they have a closed loop water system for washing and dyeing the denim. Designer Maxime Guillon says,
