On the 3rd of August I hot - footed it down to Olympia in Kensington, to the Pure London show.
A trade buyers event that I was luckily enough to be given access too due to my blog.
I have never been to Pure London before, so I had no idea what to expect!
The last time I was at Olympia, I was at IMATS. So I knew where I was going, but unfortunately on the 3rd of August there were major train disruptions and my journey there took nearly two hours!
This post is photo heavy so be warned. Also if you've been to the show before you might not be interested in this post, but for a fashion and accessory lover like me, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing what Spring / Summer 2015 looks like!
About
Born as a daughter of an illustrious tailor, Melinda's career in fashion was not a planned one. Fate as it seems played its role when Melinda won the Malaysia Young Designer Award in 1995, consequently receiving a scholarship to La Salle School of Fashion in Montreal, Canada to pursue a dream all of her own.
Carving a niche for herself in stage costume productions, Melinda was propelled into the demanding and exhilarating world of fashion design.
Held twice a year, in February and August at London Olympia, Pure London continually attracts over 12,000 buyers each season.

Olia Jewellery was founded in March 2013 by Caroline Ollier.
Their aim is to create timeless costume jewellery which is both feminine and sophisticated with a nod to fashion.
With 15 years of experience in the fashion industry Caroline wanted to create a brand that is accessible without compromising on quality.
Each piece is made from the highest quality brass or mixed metals. Many of their items are silver and gold plated. Each piece is both lead and nickel free which means it will not cause allergies or discolouration to the skin.
The Olia Jewellery brand is already retailed in some of the UK’s best boutiques and has enjoyed success in its early days.

About
Since jewellery is in the spotlight of today’s lifestyle, Claire and Arnaud, the French design friends founded their own brand “Origami Jewellery”, inspired by the beauty of Japanese creativity.
The inspiration came during a night in the winter when their friend Masayuki Muraki taught them the typical Japanese folding handicraft.
Their first collection made with thread and paper had this beauty of the moment. But the splendour of the Japanese shapes deserves to combine them with precious materials like gold or silver.
To produce this collection the couple decided to go to Japan to look for manufacturers able to reproduce precisely the fragile shapes.
Since January 2008, “Claire and Arnaud” introduce their first collection of jewellery with the model Tsuru, the symbol of peace in Japan.
The ORIGAMI JEWELLERY are now available all over the world.
