Scoop closed its doors earlier this week in London as the Spring Summer 2027 edition demonstrated the strength of its distinctive approach to fashion buying.
Bringing together premium fashion, accessories and lifestyle collections from across the UK, Europe and beyond, the show welcomed leading department stores, independent retailers and international buyers, all taking time to write orders, discover new designers and reconnect with established collections.
Buyers praised both the quality of the collections and the show’s carefully edited format, highlighting the opportunity to discover new designers while spending meaningful time with existing suppliers.
Olivia Kisz, Womenswear Buyer at Liberty London, said: “Scoop is always a fantastic show for discovery and the team are incredibly attentive, creating a buying environment where you can really take your time. It’s a show that continues to evolve while remaining true to what makes it so valuable for buyers.”
Designers also reported a successful edition, welcoming returning retail partners alongside new buyers, while highlighting the commercial value of Scoop’s focused edit and the calibre of retailers attending the show.
Nichola Morgan Sales Manager at Devotion Twins Greece, said: “We’ve had a fantastic show. It was great to welcome both existing customers and new independents to the stand, and the response to our latest collection has been incredibly positive. We’ve also had the chance to reconnect with customers we haven’t seen for some time, which is one of the real benefits of exhibiting at a show like Scoop.”
Some of the standout features of this season’s programme were Behind The Curtain with Founder and Managing Director of Scoop, Karen Radley, and her exclusive conversation with the womenswear buying team from Galeries Lafayette. Plus, Anna Berkeley’s daily Style Spotlights continued to attract buyers throughout the show, with the respected fashion stylist, former Selfridges buyer and Financial Times Fashion columnist sharing her edit of the standout collections shaping SS27.
Scoop’s landmark partnership with the Italian Trade Agency also remained a defining feature of the SS27 edition, celebrating the show’s largest-ever collective of Italian designers through a programme of buyer events, networking opportunities and the dedicated Style Spotlight: Discover Italian Design.
Reflecting on the close of the show, Ms Radley, commented: “What has stood out most this season is the time buyers have spent with the collections. They’ve taken time to explore collections, ask questions, write orders and discover designers they may not otherwise have found. That thoughtful approach has always been at the heart of Scoop, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see it reflected across the show floor.”
