The English contemporary and premium fashion show Scoop celebrated a highly successful 22nd season, garnering its highest ever number of buyers for its Autumn/Winter 2023 show.
Buyers flocked to the show from across England, including groups from Matches, Browns, Harrods, Liberty, John Lewis, and Le Bon Marche. A number of independent boutique buyers from the UK, such as the likes of Stanwells, Kate Bird, Morley Stores, Chattertons, Aria and Young Ideas, were also in attendance.
Hosted at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea from the 29 to 31 January, this year's Scoop show offered attendees an exclusive edit of over 250 contemporary womenswear, menswear, accessory and lifestyle collections - curated by the show's creative director and founder, Karen Radley.
Among the assortment of designers at Scoop were a collection of gender-neutral designers, who presented a style of clothing that is increasing in popularity amongst retailers. Creative Director from Dzenda, Ali Kaptan, commented that "gender neutral is a small but growing sector and it has been fantastic to be showcased alongside other brands in this market."
"The Saatchi Gallery is a beautiful space and there is a really good mix of contemporary, casual and resort wear designers. It's also good to see so many international designers, not just the UK. We have seen wonderful collections curated beautifully across Scoop," commented Amber Truman and Mananchaya Wattanachayakul from Browns.
"We are returning to Scoop this season and the show has been very busy for us. We have received great feedback from existing and new customers and have achieved fantastic orders. Everyone you speak to loves Scoop," added Jenny Adagio of Onjenu.
"We are closing doors on what has been an immensely successful 22nd season. There has been wonderful positivity from retailers on the diverse edit of designers across womenswear, accessories, lingerie and mens. Designers are upbeat and optimistic about the season ahead," concluded Radley.
