Recognised by designers, fashion buyers, and industry experts as one of the UK’s leading fashion and lifestyle trade shows, Scoop offers visitors a unique buying environment to discover some of the most exceptional brands on the market. Our exhibitor list is carefully curated each season to focus on emerging international designers and lifestyle brands, many of whom select Scoop as their only trade platform.
Launched in February 2011 by Karen Radley, Scoop has evolved from a womenswear-exclusive event to a comprehensive showcase that includes luxury homewares, beauty, lifestyle, and men’s collections.
Fashion retail is in Karen Radley’s DNA: her first Saturday job at the age of 15 was working in the London stores of fashion retailer Quorum, acquired by her late father, World War II veteran and fashion retail entrepreneur Alfred Radley, in 1969. In 2004, Karen founded her eponymous fashion agency, representing leading labels including DKNY, Missoni, Blumarine, Paul & Joe, Chantal Thomass, Versace, and Fendi. She closed the agency seven years later to focus her attention on the twice-yearly premium womenswear trade show we now know and love as Scoop.
