A new wave of global talent: Scoop’s latest line-up signals a landmark season for discovery

As the fashion industry continues to look beyond the familiar in search of the next commercial success story, Scoop’s upcoming edition is poised to become one of its most compelling showcases yet. Returning to Olympia National from 8–10 February 2026, the show unveils an inspiring roster of designers making their debut, an editorially sharp mix of emerging and international names that underline Scoop’s reputation as the UK’s leading platform for newness, curation and creativity.

For retailers navigating a competitive landscape, where differentiation and fresh product narratives are critical, Scoop’s hand-selected edit offers both direction and discovery. Founder and Curator Karen Radley once again brings together designers that reflect evolving consumer priorities: individuality, craftsmanship, sustainability and pieces that feel emotionally engaging as well as commercially relevant.

This season’s first-time collections span contemporary womenswear, accessories and lifestyle design, each offering a distinctive point of view that aligns with the evolving tastes of UK department stores and independent boutiques.

Identifying the Designers Shaping What’s Next

The lineup includes Belsize 25, known for refined, modern silhouettes and elevated daywear, and Wildchild, which brings youthful energy through playful yet carefully considered design. Girlfriend Collective introduces its sustainable, inclusive activewear and globally loved essentials, while CCDK offers soft, feminine loungewear crafted with comfort and subtle luxury. Par Y Escala delivers Mediterranean-inspired ease and relaxed sophistication, and Floor presents clean lines and understated luxury for the contemporary wardrobe. Adding vibrancy, Fancy Palas showcases personality-driven accessories rich in colour and crafted detail, whereas BOYAN brings a fresh interpretation of wardrobe staples grounded in material quality. Lalide à Paris channels Parisian romance through delicate detailing and timeless femininity, complemented by The Keep, which focuses on conscious, carefully crafted staples rooted in responsible production. Completing the roster, Van Den Abeele offers design-led European tailoring with refined structure and modern appeal. Together, these designers form a dynamic cross-section of global creativity, united by the values that have long defined Scoop: originality, integrity and commerciality.

What Makes Scoop the Right Platform for Rising Talent

The decision for many of these designers to showcase at Scoop for the first time reflects the show’s evolving importance within the international trade calendar. Known for its curated environment and high-calibre buyer attendance, Scoop is increasingly seen not only as a gateway to the UK market but as a meaningful platform for brand storytelling.

Pooja Haldar, Designer BOYAN explains, “Scoop International has always impressed me for its discerning eye and its longstanding reputation for championing emerging design talent. Its history of curating thoughtful, innovative brands, and providing young labels with a well-supported platform to introduce their work to the industry, aligns strongly with the values and ambitions of BOYAN.

By joining the Scoop showcase, I hope to connect with stores that prioritise craftsmanship, meaningful storytelling, and cultural authenticity. My aim is to introduce BOYAN to key global boutique buyers and press who appreciate slow creation, refined construction, and a narrative-driven approach to design. Participation in Scoop would also support BOYAN in building credibility through selective, strategic PR and measured editorial visibility, focusing on depth rather than volume.”

The Keep

Jemma Cotterrell, Co-founder The Keep added, “We have chosen to showcase our debut collection at Scoop because it is recognised as the leading UK trade fair for contemporary and premium brands and I know we will meet with lots of luxury British independent boutiques but also potential international customers too. Our brand sits perfectly with like designers in this carefully curated environment.”

Lalide à Paris hiver 2026

Adélaïde d'Andigné, Creator & Artistic Director Lalide à Paris said, “We are delighted to be participating in the next edition of Scoop London in February. Our high-end homeware brand for women, with its distinctly French style, is enjoying significant international growth, both in Europe and on other continents, but has not yet had the opportunity to develop in the British market. We are looking to establish new partnerships with department stores as well as with beautiful multi-brand boutiques. We are confident that the quality and refinement of our designs will appeal to the most discerning British customers.”

FLOOR

Sven Benetti, General Manager at FLOOR commented, “FLOOR is a made in Italy, it is a total look collection with a strong focus on the knitwear. The brand was created 10 years ago, and it’s currently sold by 550 multi-brands stores in Europe (Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway and Spain). We have chosen to showcase at SCOOP because we have just started to distribute FLOOR in the UK. We think that it will be a good opportunity to give visibility to the brand and to meet esteemed buyers from the U.K. We think that our brand fits well with the tastes of the U.K. market and for this reason we decided to invest in this market.”

While first-time designers highlight Scoop’s impact as a launchpad, returning brands also speak to its enduring value, sharing why the show remains a pivotal moment in their seasonal calendar. Andrea Filippi, Sales Director Transit (see main image) said, “Our company has decided to participate at Scoop again this year because it remains the only exhibition in the UK that offers product content, quality and image in line with market needs. It is large enough and has enough collections to be very focused and avoid confusion for buyers and exhibitors. The environment is well-kept and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, which we really like.”

Setting the Tone for the Season Ahead

As established labels look to reposition, and new designers seek thoughtful entry points into the market, Scoop’s February edition feels particularly well-timed. The diversity of first-time exhibitors, paired with Radley’s consistent curatorial vision, signals a season defined by freshness, optimism and purposeful design.

For buyers prioritising individuality, innovation and future-facing style, this edition is set to deliver not only new designers, but new possibilities.
