What are you most excited about for Pure London this season?

We entered the UK market one year ago, exhibiting at both the London Textile Fair and Pure Origin and the welcome we received from British clients was very promising! The interest we’ve received so far from the British market means that every new edition becoming even more interesting and exciting to us. As British fashion is a pioneer for everybody in this field, we always anticipate the Pure catwalk shows.
