Two streetwear trade shows took place this weekend during London’s Fashion Week. Margin TV showcased some 60 up-and-coming brands, mainly from the UK. Most T-shirt labels featured the en-vogue concoction of quirky, viral, cutsy designs. The ones I liked had a grungier look like A-non Clothing, which has a well-known store near edgy Brick Lane, and T Tees, whose designs are influenced by the “80s old shoot scene”.

The other show, To Be Confirmed, was held right off Brick Lane in the Old Truman Brewery. I wasn’t registered for the event as I found out about it by fluke on my way to Cafe 1001 for an afternoon of dark and deep electro session.
