I SAVED THIS FROM THE 80'S + I Saved Laurence one of the most interesting collections of tees and sweats for boysies and girlsies that we saw at MARGIN in London + nice acid colours featuring 80's esque prints + and at decent prices + Now in their fourth season I saved Laurence an anagram of Laurence's name also has a concession at TOP SHOP Oxford Circus + As many fashionistas know Top Shop is no longer just the place where chavs go to buy a suit for their first court appearance or where chavettes go to buy skirts that can double as belts for their first fingering + but is in fact now a great place to pick up the latest in high-streetwear (and teenage girls)

“As usual Margin was very successful for us and has been a huge factor in the growth of our brand. It is an ideal and affordable way to showcase our clothing to a wide variety of buyers from the UK and abroad. This season we wrote really good orders and the new venue worked well for us. The general feedback from buyers I spoke to was that while other shows had become more mainstream, unimaginative and commercial, Margin had stuck to its guns offering a far more exciting selection of niche brands with unique products.”

Drapers ‘Off the Record’

Supreme Being at Work. It's sometimes difficult to tell who's working hard at the shows, but there was no doubt Damian Quinn was at Margin in London. The footwear designer was stitching and cutting pairs of Supremebeing's limited-edition trainer range, which are usually made in runs of 300 at a factory in Barcelona.

Margin London February 2006 + Supremebeing Sneakers

In the world of sneakers is there such a thing as handmade and bespoke? With a factory capacity of 150 sneaks per style per season the sneaks from Supremebeing are a matter of exclusivity based on the time of 3 old skool shoe makers and their hand skills in the workshop in Barcelona, Sants.

The sneaks designer/maker, Damian Quinn, at Supremebeing studied classical shoemaking at Cordwainers, London. Together with Yok, Dave and Jo at Supremebeing, this is a project that encompasses all their footwear chat.

Damian at Supremebeing made a pair of sneakers by hand during the period of Margin London to enable those who love their sneaks to see the process that goes into making a pair of hand made shoes.

“The general response to the show has always highlighted Margin’s ability to attract new designers. Most trade shows are either too expensive or too mainstream for the underground labels that prefer the more intimate and casual vibe that’s encouraged and protected at Margin.
The diversity of brands was remarkable, with collections from all over the world. What was most encouraging was that designers were still inspired and enthusiastic, with many of them showing handmade, quirky one-off pieces as imaginative as ones from when they first graduated.
Overall, as the brands get bigger so does Margin. Exhibitors really appreciated the new space and consequently the atmosphere was as buzzy as ever. ” WGSN
