International visitors at Pure London and Pure Origin

The Festival of Fashion is truly international, bringing in visitors from every corner of the world. I spoke to three of them to find out more about where they come from and why they're joining us this season.

"I have always liked Pure, you have unique products and you are at the forefront of the new. It is always good to see what is done in the rest of the world, especially in sustainability. For me the most important thing is that products are made with imagination, natural materials and a lot of love. It is fantastic to discover unique pieces on many occasions and see the expression of people who enter a different environment."

"I enjoy attending Pure to stay informed on latest trends and spot potential new producers to work with.  The industry talks are always informative with a broad range of speakers."
