Bubble London continues to be the UK childrenswear industry’s premier trade show

Childrenswear remains

the most vibrant sector in the industry with the current economic climate doing little to dampen the spirit of buyers and brands. The feeling of positivity was evident at Bubble London, the UK’s foremost children’s fashion trade show, which kicked off the spring/summer 13 season by announcing a year-on-year visitor increase of 1.4% at the event, which took place on 17-18 June at the Business Design Centre, Islington.

More than 250 collections were viewed and almost 80 brands made their show debut including Aston Martin, Minidunadu, Tom and Drew, Crawlings, Cofucu Baby, Rayil, Derhy Kids, Eva-Koshka, Little Creative Factory, Fina Ejerique, Gracil, Elfie, Little Titans, Frocks London, Poco Nido, Forwalls and Purebaby.

The increase in visitor numbers reinforces Bubble London’s reputation as the event where serious buyers place orders and discover new talent. To keep up with the ever-changing nature of the industry, the show continues to introduce new and inspiring ideas. Bubble Homegrown was launched this season to support labels that design and manufacture their collections in the UK and the established treasure trove zone, Bubble G.U.M., an area for emerging niche brands, hosted a great number of high-quality products. With a significant number of new labels choosing the event as their launch pad, Bubble London is the ideal destination for labels to develop their presence in an international market.

The autumn/winter 13 edition of Bubble London takes place from 27-28 January 2013 at the Business Design Centre, Islington. For more information please visit bubblelondon.com
