Show organisers Clarion Events has confirmed that going forward, Pulse London will co-locate with Top Drawer from September 2019. The merger of the two design-led shows marks the next stage in the evolution of the Top Drawer brand say Clarion.
“After careful consideration and consultation with the market we have taken the decision to move Pulse from a stand-alone event to a co-located one at Top Drawer, for both the S/S and A/W editions, with the first taking place on 8-10 September 2019,” confirmed Neil Gaisford, managing director of the Retail Division at Clarion Events. “This will provide buyers with an unrivalled offer of new creative talent for their most important buying periods.”
Added Top Drawer’s Alejandra Campos, Top Drawer’s event director: “Highly regarded by buyers, Pulse has always been at the forefront of industry trends, presenting the next wave of design talent and cutting edge content, making it the perfect addition to Top Drawer. With the re-location of Pulse, our visitors will now have access to the UK’s largest platform of commercially-ready emerging brands, affirming Top Drawer’s place as the home of leading design-led brands and new talent.”
