Pure London 2014

This time last week, CVUK were lucky enough to attend Pure London, one of the UK’s largest and most influential buying events, bringing together over 1000+ brands across womenswear, young fashion, footwear, accessories, as well as inspiring seminars and catwalk shows – all under one roof at the Kensington Olympia exhibition centre.
