The first combined Pure London x JATC show, the London festival of fashion, at Olympia London from the 11-13th February 2024 will host an enlarged POP destination which leads the fashion conversation with the newest, most diverse fashion collections and embraces inclusivity with gender fluid, culturally inspired collections.
Buyers will discover an array of new brands and returning favourites who are creative, fun, cultured and environmentally tuned-in. Inspired by pop culture, POP offers a diverse selection of alternative streetwear, gender fluid collections, vintage labels, festival fits and tech infused pieces.
Set to have big impact this season is Audrey Hamilton Apparel, an Irish premium fashion brand designed by pop and abstract artist Audrey Hamilton. Recently nominated for the Rising Star Award, Audrey is an established and much-loved artist who combined her love of fashion and art to design this unique collection. Creating a captivating experience, located near the Pure London catwalk, the collection will be presented in an art gallery style installation which will showcase key pieces of art with an edited and corresponding collection of fashion.
The Social Club London is an inclusive collection of loungewear and accessories. A brand that feels different to others, even with the familiar happy face branding. With its own unique ‘feelgood’ factor the collection resonates with people of all genders and ages with the versatility to be styled and worn differently to showcase the wearer’s personality. Buyers can expect the signature black and gold styles plus new colourways for the season to come. RAINMAKR LONDON has a range of print designs from mainstream pop culture to unique artwork that complements their Millennial and Gen Z demographic. Product style and colours are kept simple with the focus being put on material and custom sizing.
Launched in AW23, Finding Friday introduces a trend inspired, versatile and flattering collection made using luxurious fabrics – designed in house from sketch to store. Visitors will discover their SS24 capsule, shot in the beautiful streets of Seville and focusing on key prints and metallic detailing. South Beach caters to the vivacious, free-spirited fashionista, who’s not afraid to make a statement. The distinctive collections feature swimwear, resort-wear and accessories – using sustainable and interesting fabrics.
Rejoice Bozho, a recent fashion major graduate, designs a visionary luxury street style brand that redefines hiking couture.

Inspired by social media, pop culture and influencer style it is ahead of the curve with fresh new styles added every day. The range of must-wear styles is defined by innovative fabrics, exciting prints and beautiful silhouettes. Heretic Nine is an independent Shoreditch based brand inspired by global streetwear and subcultures. Concept-led fashion collections are designed to enable and inspire self-expression for non-conformists and creative misfits.
