Art + August 2007 + Fourholes
Fourholes
Launched in August 2007, new label Fourholes exhibited at Margin London and decorated the Gallery Area with their unique Surf art installation.
Fourholes is a new brand created by Brian Macshane who was the Brand Manager at Mambo for eight years previously. Consisting of logo & graphic based jersey and fleece items with denim and knitwear, Fourholes references a more innocent era of pre-sponsorhip surfing before the grassroots passion for the ocean was replaced with corporate team members.
Fourholes is about having to buy your own board and not having one presented to you by a sponsor or having your airfare paid for to chase an epic southerly swell.

Smiley
The Original Smiley Logo is one of the most famous icons in the world. In 1971 Franklin Loufrani created a simple concept for his newspaper, he displayed a happy icon to highlight good news. He gave his original icon the name of ‘Smiley’.
In 2005 the Smiley World Association was founded, an independent charity, so that Smileyworld Ltd can donate 10% of its sales to fight against all forms of social exclusion. When purchasing Smiley collection products you do not only show a positive spirit but also “Share your smile with those in need”.
As well as taking part in music festivals worldwide, Smiley is a must-have in the fluoro world of Nu Rave. Organic and fair trade cotton are used to protect the environment and producers.

Exhibitor Preview + Kreateur + Missmilne
Missmilne
Creating desirable and glamourous womenswear, Missmilne is a London label with a celebrity following. Sienna Miller and Jade Jagger swear by the sharp cutting and traditional Japanese tailoring techniques that go into creating the showstopping collection of flattering dresses.
The Winter 2007 short order collection is inspired by the decadent narcissism of London nightlife infused with rebellious colour and luscious fabrics. The Spring Summer 2008 range is influenced by the rustic elegance of greek mythology blended with a girlish charm and a bit of rock and roll.
Missmilne will be exhibiting collections available for short-order and pre-order in August.
Exhibitor Preview + 101 + Perfectly Flawed
Perfectly Flawed
Making their international debut exclusively at Margin, Perfectly Flawed will be exhibiting in August.
With a strong industry background creating designs for brands such as H&M, Bershka, Zara Jeans, Mango and many others, the lack of creativity got too frustrating for Karl Slater. The antidote was the creation of Perfectly Flawed. Designing on the edge of reason, Perfectly Flawed keeps it young and fresh, never looking to other brands for inspiration.
All designs are limited editions with no more than 100 garments for the printed tees, or 30 in the couture range, enabling retailers to offer unique items to their shoppers. Knowing that each item is, in essence, one of a kind being numbered 1 to 100 provides a tangible sellng point.
