New collaborations at Bubble London

In nearly a month a UK kids’ show Bubble London will showcase several new collaborations and events such as exhibitions, book signings, and galleries. The trade show will take place at the Business Design Centre in Islington from 20-21 June.

Photographer and writer Caroline Irby will be at the exhibition, signing copies of and discussing her new book A Child From Everywhere, which will be available to buy at the show. A Child From Everywhere is a collection of photographs of and interviews with children from 185 different countries living in the UK. Proceeds of the book go to Oxfam.

Bubble London is teaming up with French kids’ magazine Milk, to display Milk’s “Look de rue” series of photographs. The magazine searches the streets for the most stylish kids around, and will bring a selection of their images to the show, displayed in a gallery-style format.

The tradeshow also linked up with children’s lifestyle boutique and vintage furniture gallery Molly Meg, who’s displaying a selection of vintage chairs. As it’s Father’s Day on the Sunday of the show, Bubble reporter Tabara N’Diaye will be stopping fathers and their little ones to have their photos taken and answer a few questions. The images will be posted immediately on the Bubble Blog, and will appear in the next edition of industry trade title CWB.

Bubble London was launched in January 2008, and its philosophy is to bring a new generation of kids’ trade show to the marketplace. The event is set up for retailers to meet exhibitors from every aspect of the kid's world including clothing to toys, shoes, accessories.
