Margin introduces new exhibition area TraidFare Fashion The organisers of London-based trade exhibition Margin have announced the introduction of new area TraidFare for the next event in February 2008 – see events. The section will focus on Fair Trade and organic clothing and include collections from streetwear and casualwear labels that ensure their products and fabrics are manufactured ethically and free from chemicals. Margin has always featured fairly-traded and eco-aware labels but an increase in the number of them now warrants a dedicated area. Brands including Komodo, Organic Stereo, and THTC will be showcased at the event which takes place at the The Vinyl Factory Gallery in London’s Soho. www.margin.tv www.traidfare.com

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BRANDS: MARGIN & IFF
London, UK; Tokyo, Japan, 22 Jan. 2008
As a result of an exchange programme between the UK’s Margin London tradeshow and Japan’s International Fashion Fair, a selection of brands will be getting double the exposure this season.
British brands Vacant and Reveller Clothing Co who are exhibiting at Margin London in February 2008 have been selected by the IFF committee to exhibit free of charge at the IFF Tokyo show in the directional hall called “Terroir” for international brands.
In return Japanese labels Cyrhyme and Toumei-Manila (pictured above) have been selected by Margin to exhibit their unique ranges of reworked menswear and directional womenswear respectively in the 101 area for new labels at Margin London.
Margin London (margin.tv) takes place on the 10th 11th & 12th February 2008 and the IFF Tokyo / Terroir exhibition (senken.co.jp/exhibition) is coming up from the 23rd to the 25th January 2008.

An interview with Retreat Clothing Urban Industry Store first came across Retreat Clothing about 2 years ago at the London Fashion show, Margin..yeah, ok, we dragged our heals on getting on board with some stock but hey! Better late than never! Retreat Clothing is the brainchild of Paul Sid and the designs coming from this guy are about as different and unique as you will see anywhere in the UK at the moment. Retreat Clothing doesn’t bow to trends in streetwear and truly walks its own path. Urban Industry caught up with Sid one Sunday afternoon to find out where some of these mad designs come from!

Reveller Clothing was founded by a group of surfers, skaters, artists and musicians who wanted a clothing range that reflected their outlook and ethics. To sustain their environmental and humanitarian beliefs, Reveller Clothing only sources from Fairwear Foundation audited manufacturers, uses Organic Cotton, and works with their screenprinter to ensure that all garments are only printed with inks that are Phthalates- and PVC-free. Reveller Clothing also put their money where their mouth is by donating part of their turnover to humanitarian and environmental charities. Reveller will be making their debut in London at Margin on the cusp of The Tee Room and TraidFare areas, and in Tokyo at the IFF show in Terroir. |
