The Scoop tradeshow in July will not be held at its usual venue, the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, as this will host the exhibition "Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones."

The exhibition will showcase over 500 original Stones’ artefacts across nine themed galleries and be held from April through to early September 2016. This means that the July edition of Scoop will instead be held at the Old Billingsgate Market in the heart of the City of London, an iconic venue that is a grade two Victorian landmark.

The Old Billingsgate Market has previously hosted events including awards ceremonies, film premieres, and red carpet events, as well as high-end exhibitions and fashion shows.

Scoop said that for its spring/summer 17 edition: "This already beautiful Old Billingsgate building will be dramatically transformed into the capital’s most exciting fashion destination, where a whole new take on Scoop’s trademark mix of fashion and art will be mixed with more than a few surprises."

Scoop has been going since 2011 and had over 250 brands showcasing their collections at the latest edition of the show, which took place at the Saatchi Gallery in January.
