HUB: A unique take on street and sportswear for the UK

HUB, the UK’s only event for the street and boardsports business takes place 16-17 August 2011 at Bristol Amphitheatre and Waterfront Square.

HUB offers buyers a unique take on the fashion, accessories, footwear and styling from the core street and sport sector and a great opportunity to find new product and fresh inspiration to take back to the store. Big names include Etnies, Billabong, Santa Cruz and Protest, and women’s lifestyle brand Misticon, designed by professional snowboarder Charlotte Dutton, back at the show in style with the complete collection of directional, feminine fashion.

New names for 2011 include boards and skate apparel from Arbor, directional footwear brand Cushe, and famous shoe brand Simple, going back to its roots with a fresh new direction to be unveiled at the show. Rhythm menswear comes to the UK at HUB this summer, drawing on the Rhythm collective of art, music, surf and snow to deliver a strong street collection for SS12, plus New Era caps, Skull Candy, Odessa and Cobian all join the summer lineup.

Retail sessions offer advice for stores, and live demos on the King Ramps mini-ramp and stand up paddle races on the harbour add to the atmosphere and inspiration.
