The 9th edition of London based trade show Dot to Dot is fast approaching, with an international cast of labels in attendance. This friendly boutique style show remains in the same central and welcoming location – the fabulous Vinyl factory at the back or the famous Carnaby street. But remember to register prior to your visit or take your business card as a strictly trade policy is exercised.
Straight from Italy, Pirouette will be there on the Monday looking out for the new Pirouette One to Watch award winners at the show. The 9th edition will also be hosting the launch of the UK version of German based Luna Magazine. During which the lovely Peggy Jusch, the editor in chief of Luna UK will be holding creative workshops for visitors and hosting an evening drinks event on the Saturday to celebrate the launch.
Always a great show for a little discovery, we have a quick chat with Peggy re the launch of the English Luna Mag and hear a little from show founders Carly Gledhill and Nicole Frobusch.
Pirouette One to Watch Award

Luna Mag UK launch

Hello Peggy! For 2018, our favourite german publication Lunamag have decided to launch an english version, why do you think this is? Luna wants to grow and reach modern parents and their children outside of the German speaking countries. Globalisation is now!
What can we expect from the english variation? The English online magazine will be more focused on fashion, design and trends. Covering new brands, talking with interesting people from the industry, sharing motherhood wisdom and the latest news.
What’s your role? Editor in Chief
