UBIQUITY - Ubiquity started in 1991 as an independent record label in San Francisco. The label became notorious with big DJ names worldwide such as DJ Shadow and the Beastie Boys and, as the label's popularity grew, the clothing arm of the business was born. It started producing its T-shirt line in 1995 and this season sees the launch of new designs with musical tones. WEEKEND ROCKSTAR - In response to the inflitration of rock t-shirts on the market, Weekend Rockstar will be showing its line of distressed T-shirts and sweats with bold graphics and humour.

CROSSFADER - Crossfader originated from a love of hip hop, skating and snowboarding and will be showing its range of swearshirts and hoodies at Margin, littered with bold design and vibrant graphics. SP:UK - SP:UK has a successful show last time out and this time is showing its a/w 06 collection comprising tees, hoodies and sweatshirts, each donning intricate design patterns.

UZI - US T-shirt brand Uzi is showing at Margin for the first time - its first ever show outside its home country. Fusing punk imagery with new inclusions taking inspiration from blow-up dolls, Japanese bondage scenes and gigantic patterns, the brand has a good following in Japan and its home city of New York, and hopes to increase its presence in the UK as a result of the show.
