Some of the freshest new labels to watch were on show at London fashion and streetwear exhibition Margin.

The debut collection has been designed by former Mambo European marketing and international retail manager Brian MacShane. It includes T-shirts, hoodies, polos and denim and features the colourful palette and retro styling from the era, but with a definite sportswear twist. Prices from £10 for T-shirts.
