"Here at Pilot Clothing we think that a street wear trade show is essential to the progression of British Fashion culture because of the growing trend in this market. Streetwear has now transcended the urban market and has been absorbed in to main stream fashion. Having a trade show can only help the growth and the promotion of our own British take on this grass roots culture as well as showcasing some outstanding overseas brands."

"In recent years we've seen a great rise in demand for premium streetwear in the UK. Many of these brands have grown through their online presence, numerous social media channels and word of mouth. Whilst this is a great vehicle for brand awareness for the consumer, one area that hasn't kept pace is a suitable forum to match up the brands, either directly or via distributors like ourselves, with retailers under one roof. There are shows that fulfill this remit in the US and Germany, but until now nothing in the UK. We've shown at the main Stitch show before and whilst we've already had positive experiences, we're optimistic that a cohesive designated section is going to really take things to the next level."

After experiencing the best season on Crooks and Castles, we are excited that Switch is offering the UK a much needed streetwear show. It's something that has been needed for a while as we have seen more menswear stores getting into the street wear scene. We are looking forward to participating in the Switch show.
