 The Show

This is Fashion with an Edge

THE LONDONEDGE SHOW is the first, biggest and best show of its kind in the world. It caters to a group of some of the most creative, exciting 'niches' in fashion, accessories & giftware. Collectively this results in an amazing presentation of merchandise unlike anything seen anywhere else in the world.

Broadly speaking this is an exhibition for alternative markets but essentially it's all about rock 'n' roll cool and kooky style. Merchandise at the show include punk, 40's, 50s, 60's, 70's, 80's nostalgia, rock, industrial punk, tattoo, rockabilly, cyber, hotrod, steam punk, heavy metal, rockabilly, festival ethnic, gothic, biker and so on & on. Accessible trends for everyone but they're lifestyle choices too. As such, the show includes almost everything required for everyday life such as fashion, footwear, jewellery, furniture, make-up, hair products, giftware and so on.

Debuted in February 2000 Londonedge responded to a cry for a unique & creative tradeshow offering the market something different. The partnership of Sandra Phillipson & Carole Hunter, assisted by the generous support & advise of key exhibitors, crafted a new concept in exhibitions that offers an international platform to edgy fashion companies.

 The Show

Eleven years on, after fighting a characteristically courageous battle with terminal illness, Sandra tragically passed away on September 4th 2010 at the age of 59. Her spirit, humour & love of life remain integral to the heart of Londonedge. She is missed by us all every single day and will never be forgotten.
