Margin moves to Mayfair

Innovative streetwear and tailoring trade show Margin is moving to Mayfair, due to construction and restoration work taking place at its previous venue. The trade show will take up the minimalist gallery space of The Music Rooms. The Music Rooms was the home of Margin for eight shows from 2003 to 2005, and is based in the heart of the West End. Margin will be central to all mens and womens trade events coinciding with London Fashion Week.

Margin organiser Odysseas Constantine commented: “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.” The organisers believe the move will help Margin sharpen the focus of the show to promote upscale streetwear labels. The size of the gallery space dictates the maximum number of labels that can take part; hence Margin selects the most important, directional and profitable brand line-up. The main drive of Margin is to establish a show where new young labels could find an affordable platform accessible to buyers, journalists and stylists. The 16th edition of Margin London will take place on the 8th & 9th February 2009 and will be open from 10am until 6pm on both days.
