Managing Director of LondonEdge, Carole Hunter is excited for the coming show:

“The past 12 months have seen us go from strength to strength. It seems we’re entering an era reminiscent of trade shows back in the early noughties. It’s exciting to have these market-leading brands recognise LondonEdge as a platform to launch their collections so we’re thrilled to have Motel and Jeffery Campbell on board and look forward to working with such established, iconic and fashion focussed brands. We believe that the inclusion of these heavyweights, alongside the battalion of other amazing collections, will attract a new breed of buyers as well as our regulars. There’s an excitement in the air surrounding this show and we cannot wait!”

Motel will be taking their place amongst other established brands from all over the world to showcase their collection of vibrant, youthful clothing. Pioneering the concept of fast fashion for the youth market, Motel sets the pace for the style hungry and offers unique and ever-evolving designs with an emphasis on quality. Debuting this season at LondonEdge, Motel will be showcasing a collection of brand new prints and designs including best-selling style and a special collaborative collection from stand VG64.

Footwear giants and youth culture fashion legends, Jeffery Campbell, are known for pushing the boundaries of modern footwear and are also confirmed to exhibit. Since launching in 2000, Jeffrey Campbell has taken the world by storm. Creators of notoriously show-stopping footwear, this season the designs have stayed true to the brands philosophy of creating shoes that capture the essence of the street. Jeffrey Campbell’s ambition to “keep making girls happy worldwide” continues on stand M197.

LondonEdge returns to Business Design Centre, Islington

Kensington’s Olympia was home for February’s S/S 15 and now, the only tradeshow on the planet powerfully representing authentic subculture fashion, announces their September return to Islington’s Business Design Centre.

Running from 6th-8th September, LondonEdge attracts buyers from all over the world to the capital of alternative style and culture. Immediately surrounded by London’s premier café culture and shopping haven, Islington is also a stone’s throw from the iconic bars, markets and music venues of Camden an area that has always held a special place in the heart of the Team Edge.

Managing Director of LondonEdge, Carole Hunter, is thrilled to be returning to the BDC:


"It is an absolute pleasure to be returning to the Business Design Centre and to North London. Built in 1862 the building combines historic grandeur, a beautifully bright atmosphere and practicality. The location could not be better; there are plenty of underground and mainline stations around, it’s so easy to find. Just walk 5 minutes and you’ll find an array of cafes and restaurants offering cuisine to satisfy any cravings. The BDC offers LondonEdge, its buyers and exhibitors a beautiful, sociable environment in which to do business”.

Designed by Joseph Paxton for the Great Exhibition in 1851, the Business Design Centre boasts a beautiful glass ceiling which, complimentary to any exhibition, will allow plenty of natural light into the venue. The multi-levelled space creates the perfect backdrop to show allowing the 150+ collections exhibited to be seen by 1,000s of visitors from all over the world.


With 94% of the floor space already allocated, this coming show is set to deliver an exciting dynamic to the fashion trade show scene making LondonEdge September an un-missable date in the diary for those at the forefront of fashion buying.
