Also being held on the same dates is SCOOP where the theme for this season is "Here Comes the Sun."

As Scoop’s Founder and Managing Director, Karen Radley,  has pointed out in her press release, her exhibition perfectly encapsulates the joy of longer days, beautiful blue skies and the ease of warm-weather fashion, while she is perennially inspired by vintage styles and this season she wants to capture the gorgeous aesthetic of a French 1930s seaside resort.

Radley says, “Scoop is more than just a trade show, we offer an immersive experience that transports visitors into a world of wonderment. From the moment buyers arrive, the thoughtfully designed theme, Here Comes The Sun, will set the tone for the journey filled with inspiration, beauty and quirkiness.”

“Presented in the heart of London, Scoop is delighted to introduce the newest designers to the market, showcasing their extraordinary talents and the latest trends. With so many wonderful designers to choose from, it’s been difficult to spotlight, but here are some of the collections I’m particularly looking forward to seeing this season.”
