"Very happy to meet eco-friendly designers, that was very interesting... very cutting-edge. We came here to find some new English brands for a French website that will be dedicated only to ethical fashion, interior, and beauty items, and we were pleased to meet some people that we hadn't met already and who themselves are interested in having some French distributors."

Consumers are more environmentally aware than ever and retailers are increasingly looking for directional product that fits the green demand.
TraidFare highlights collections from streetwear and casualwear labels that ensure their collections are manufactured ethically from chemical-free fabrics.
As most of the exhibitors at leading London upscale streetwear event Margin are brand new start-ups with home-grown manufacturing, the show has always featured exhibitors with fair-trade eco-aware ranges but the increased amount of sustainable fashion for the February 2008 edition demanded its own area.
Featuring ethically-sourced collections, TraidFare provides a much-needed affordable platform in London for clothing and accessories with a conscience.
Margin exists to promote young upscale
streetwear and directional tailoring labels.
The trade fair exhibition Margin London was
established to help new labels reach a wider
buying and press audience. The trade shows
Margin London were created out of necessity.
Retailers travel the world looking for "the next
big thing" but are never going to find it at a
fashion tradeshow whose costs prohibit fresh
talent which is where the Margin upscale
streetwear exhibition plays a vital part
by providing a credible and affordable
platform for new talent.
The main drive of Margin London was to establish a show where new young labels and "up and coming" design talent could find an affordable platform to exhibit at Margin London to the UK & international fashion trade and press. Margin is a fashion exhibition in London presenting fashion collections from fashion labels based in London and international. The London Fashion Exhibition in London is long-standing and has been running since August 2002. The February 2008 edition marks the occasion of the 12th show of the Fashion Exhibition in London. Margin is a clothing trade show taking place in the UK in London in February 2008.
Margin in London is now a firm must-visit fixture on the international trade show and fashion fair calendar for directional independent boutiques, multiples & department stores across the UK, Europe and Japan. Margin London features the following categories of exhibitors as well as others:
Upscale streetwear, directional tailoring, skatewear, boardwear, surfwear, urban wear, london fashion, international fashion , youthwear, menswear, womenswear, lifestyle products, jeanswear / denim, giftwear, t-shirts / tees, accessories such as bags, jewellery (jewelry), hats / headwear, footwear / shoes, directional pattern cutting, creative elegance and street couture.
