The next edition of London fashion trade show Scoop will be held at just one venue: the Saatchi Gallery on London's iconic King's Road in Chelsea. For the last three seasons, Scoop has taken place at both the Saatchi Gallery and the Phillips Gallery in Victoria.

The change is due to Phillips moving to Berkley Square, making the Victoria space unavailable. But where Scoop previously took over just three of Saatchi's floors, this year it will be spread out over all four levels.

"We hoped to have one final edition of Scoop across both venues before launching a new concept for the show in summer 2015 - something we've been working on for over a year," says Scoop founder Karen Radley. "However, we found out towards the end of 2014 that this wouldn't be possible, so following special arrangements with the Saatchi Gallery we'll be showcasing the full Scoop line-up at our original home in Chelsea."

The FW15 edition of Scoop promises to be a truly international event, with brands taking part including Sam + Lavi from LA and Spain's indi & cold, as well as Malaysia's Bernard Chandran. British brands showing include J Shoes, Tada & Toy and Love Smith. Over 250 brands in total are taking part in Scoop.

Scoop AW15 takes place on February 1-3.
