The FW 2023 edition of contemporary and premium fashion show Scoop, held from Jan. 29 to 31, 2023, at the Saatchi Gallery, Chelsea, London, closed its doors celebrating a highly successful 22nd season with its highest ever number of buyers in attendance. Scoop offered an exclusive edit of over 250 contemporary womenswear, menswear, accessory and lifestyle collections expertly curated by the show’s creative director and founder, Karen Radley.
The space was bustling with buyers from across the country including teams from Matches, Browns, Harrods, Galeries Lafayette, Liberty, Fenwick, John Lewis, Harvey Nichols, Le Bon Marche, and Anthropologie Europe as well as a host of independent boutiques from across the UK including Stanwells, Aria, Chattertons, Cavells, Morley Stores, Pamela Shiffer, Elizabeth Rose, Young Ideas, Cordelia James, Kate Bird, Gemini, Javelin, Jules B, Doyles, McElhinneys and many more.
Among the line-up of designers at Scoop were an innovative collection of gender-neutral designers presenting a style of clothing which is growing in popularity with retailers. Designers included Dzenda, Dedicated and Knowledge Cotton. Dzenda’s first collection reflects a modern and chic identity that elevates the human body with an essence of luxury and removes borders and boundaries in gender title. Also popular with retailers were brands that appealed to a younger demographic, such as the Amy Jane London collection. Among the designers showcasing at Scoop for the first time there was ByTimo, the Norwegian brand founded by Tine Mollatt, which creates vintage inspired fashion and homeware, with sustainably made fabrics and ethical manufacturing.
Scoop’s exclusive showcase also included collections from HIGH in collaboration with The Royal Academy of the Arts, Tandem, Hanro, Signal, Les Racines du Ciel, Meme Road, NotShy, BRGN, Ivy Copenhagen, Eberjey, Chelsey Greene, Fringe, Beyond by Vera, Peachaus, Eribe, Gaston Luga, Ines de la Fressange, Transit, as well as menswear from North Sails, Jack&Me, Mos Mosh, and many more.
"We are closing doors on what has been an immensely successful 22nd season," said Karen Radley, founder and managing director of Scoop. "One of our focuses has been showcasing designers who have chosen Scoop to launch such as ByTimo, Fringe, Cencetak, Amelia Scott, It’s 9pm, Dzenda and many more and the reaction from buyers to these collection has been incredible. There has been wonderful positivity from retailers on the diverse edit of designers across womenswear, accessories, lingerie and mens and designers are upbeat and optimistic about the season ahead.”
