Two fashion trade shows: SCOOP International and PURE in London while the capital is hosting Tutanhkamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh at the Saatchi Gallery

What impact the Coronavirus crisis will have on the world's textile industry and all industries by that matter is yet to be seen, as China is one of the key producers and suppliers, if not the biggest, of materials to fashion brands and retailers around the world, and also manufacturer of parts and a wide spectrum of consumer and industrial goods.

Organisers of upcoming international trade fairs and events, as well as conferences and seminars this Spring no doubt are monitoring the situation very closely, while the circumstance may have an impact on participant and visitor numbers.

Coming up in London this weekend are two fashion trade shows covering the Autumn/Winter 2020-21 season: - PURE London to take place February 9 - 11 at Olympia Kensington, and SCOOP International which this season will take place in Old Billingsgate Market in London during those same dates.  SCOOP was normally held in  the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea but changed venue this season due to the ongoing Tutankhamun: 150 Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh now on show there until May 3rd.
