Scoop London, the new tradeshow from the organisers of Scoop International, was held in London's iconic Saatchi Gallery on September 20-22, during Fashion Week.

The event played host to more than 180 UK and international premium, directional and contemporary designer collections. Among the UK premium retailers who attended Scoop London were Brown Thomas, Bernards, Feathers, Square, Anna's, Selfridges and Net-A-Porter.

From abroad came buyers from Penelope, La Rinascente, Biffi and Banner from Milan, Colette from Paris, Le Bon Marche, Galeries Lafayette, Spree from Paris, Globus from Switzerland and United Arrows from Japan.

Karen Radley, Founder and MD comments, "I am delighted with the first edition of Scoop London, in particular the strength and quality of both UK and overseas buyers. We have curated our designer collections at Scoop London to represent a strong mix of designers from Japan and Korea and Europe with a strong contingent from Italy to provide cutting edge yet accessible collections for buyers."

Suzanne Burstein, owner of Feathers, commented: "The Scoop London dates work well for me as I am more ready now to do my buying than in August. Scoop London has an excellent selection of collections; every retailer should be looking forward and be always ready to try something new."

The next edition of Scoop London will be held on February 21-23. The regular edition of Scoop will be held on January 31- February 2.
