With a dynamic mix of contemporary and emerging labels

against a backdrop of cutting-edge art, Scoop is back for the 6th edition, 21st – 23rd July 2013. This time combining two venues; the Phillips & Saatchi Galleries in Central London.

Accessories and Lifestyle collections are not to be overlooked this year, with an abundance of premium labels choosing to showcase their latest collections at Scoop International in July.

Karen Radley, Founder of Scoop International says, “The line-up of accessories and lifestyle labels at Scoop this July is our strongest yet. Not only ‘quality’ but ‘quantity’ as Scoop has now two venues filled with beautifully designed accessories for S/S14. Today’s buyer is not just interested in a beautiful line of womenswear or menswear, but in creating an offering that fulfils all the style needs of his or her customers lives. So we have sought out the finest accessories, jewellery, lifestyle and boutique perfumery to compliment the fashion designers at Scoop”.

Visitors can expect exquisite, mythology and baroque collections from Nathalie Breda Jewels and Julia Burness Jewellery. Precious metals take on a geometrical, modern form with Isla Fontaine, whilst JIYA Jewellery adds a vibrant splash of colour to handmade bracelets. Nostalgic, British jewellers BARK will be showcasing their collection of quirky, hand-crafted pieces whilst Sweet Pea Jewellery brings together delicate, floral shapes with classic diamonds for a simple, elegant finish.
