Dot to Dot opens show to European and international designers

Dot to Dot London, the UK's coolest children's trade event, will for the first time this season introduce international labels to the mix for its SS16 show on 21-22 June at the Vinyl Factory in Soho, London.

For the fourth edition this summer, British-based labels will be joined by a select number of overseas cool makers for a presentation of impressive creations across kid's fashion, lifestyle and design.

Dot to Dot's new and larger home at the Vinyl Factory in the heart of Soho, reflects the increasing influence of the show in the UK and abroad. Event organisers Carly Gledhill and Nicole Frobusch commented, ''We always have our ear to the ground as there is such a wonderful hub of great designers out there, so we are very excited about moving to a venue that offers more space. Being able to expand and invite international brands means there is greater opportunities for collaborations to be born and evolve within the industry.''

Confirmed international brands include: Mr Uky, Papilla de Fruta, Papu and Petits Tresors. Other newcomers will be: ABC123me, Barbeline, Cotton Sparrow, Long Wave Apparel, Noodoll, Nor-Folk, Organic Zoo, Pala Mino, Tiba + Marl and Scamp. A Mini Penny, Amy & Ivor, Corby Tindersticks, Lapin & Me, Milk & Biscuits, Poco Nido, Rockahula Kids, Seventy Tree, Spud Kids, The Bright Company and Tootsa MacGinty will all be in attendance again.
