Hyve Group has announced an expansion of Spring Fair, with the addition of Pure from February 2025.
The Pure brand will transition to Spring Fair at Birmingham NEC to sit alongside Moda to create Moda x Pure. The strategic refocus will mark the conclusion of Pure London x JATC as a standalone event at London Olympia.
The move aims to strengthen Spring Fair's position as a destination for the fashion sector, driven by evolving market conditions and the desire for a more integrated buying space for fashion retailers. Spring Fair already attracts more relevant London-based buyers, making it a natural fit for this transition.
The move ensures that Pure's legacy continues, in a format that better meets the needs of today's fashion industry.
