Scoop

What Scoop does

Scoop International is a twice-yearly B2B fashion and lifestyle trade show founded in February 2011 by industry figure Karen Radley and operated under Hyve Group. Held at Olympia National in London, the show connects a curated lineup of 250+ emerging and established designer brands across womenswear, menswear, luxury homewares, beauty, and lifestyle with premium fashion buyers from department stores, multi-brand boutiques, and independent retailers in the UK and internationally. Many exhibiting brands use Scoop as their exclusive UK trade platform, and buyer attendance draws from the UK, Ireland, France, and Japan.

The business operates on a transactional event model with two primary revenue streams: exhibitor booth fees paid by designers and brands to showcase collections, and visitor ticket revenue from attending buyers. Pricing for both streams is not publicly disclosed and exhibitors are routed through an application process. Scoop supplements its core trade show with ancillary services including an online designer directory, visitor registration, exhibitor applications, and curated buyer programming (fireside chats, breakfasts, drinks receptions, industry talks) designed to deepen engagement beyond the exhibition floor. The 2026 edition features a 32-brand Italian delegation supported by the Italian Trade Agency, illustrating the show's internationalisation strategy.

Scoop monetises curation and intimacy as its core value proposition: by maintaining a deliberately smaller and more selective show versus mass-market alternatives, it positions itself as a premium discovery platform where buyers can find distinctive, non-mass-market brands efficiently. The product portfolio has expanded from a womenswear-only launch in 2011 to a multi-category fashion and lifestyle platform, and the show is supported by year-round content marketing through designer interviews on its website.

Others

• JOOR: Leading B2B digital fashion marketplace that lets brands showcase assortments to wholesale buyers year-round. Represents a non-physical, digital-first alternative channel competing for the same brand-buyer relationships that Scoop intermediates.

Direct peers

• Pure London: UK-based womenswear and accessories trade show also held at Olympia London. Directly competes with Scoop for the same UK buyer base and exhibitor pool, making it the closest one-for-one substitute event.
• Premiere Classe Paris: Paris accessories-focused trade show run alongside Who's Next. Directly overlaps Scoop's accessories and jewellery vertical and attracts the same French department-store buyer demographic.
• Who's Next Paris: Major Paris fashion trade show co-located with Premiere Classe at Porte de Versailles. Covers womenswear, menswear, and accessories, targeting the same European boutique and concept-store buyer universe as Scoop.
• White Milano: Milan-based curated fashion trade show timed to Milan Fashion Week. Operates with a comparable selective brand mix and targets similar premium multi-brand boutique buyers.
• Tranoi Paris: Curated Paris-based fashion and accessories trade show targeting premium boutiques and concept stores. Mirrors Scoop's selective positioning and serves European buyers who also attend Scoop.

Broad incumbents

• Pitti Uomo: Twice-yearly global menswear trade show in Florence operated by Pitti Immagine. Far larger and broader in scale, but it sets the bar for the curated menswear portion of Scoop's expanded offering.
• Coterie: NYC womenswear trade show under Informa/ENK. A larger incumbent serving the US market with a broader mass and premium womenswear edit; comparable category and buyer type to Scoop but at greater scale.

Regional players

• Micam Milano: Italy-based international footwear trade show held in Milan. Operating model is similar (curated B2B trade exhibition), but category and geography differ—relevant given Scoop's footwear and accessories footprint.
• Pitti Bimbo: Italian childrenswear trade show under Pitti Immagine. Uses the same curated trade-show model in a different category and region, illustrating a path Scoop could take if it expands into childrenswear.
