As part of the INDX Shows portfolio, which is organised by Associated Independent Stores (AIS) - the UK and Ireland’s leading buying, retail services, and event group, the show was well attended by AIS Members, along with a wide selection of independent fashion boutiques and National retailers.  

Bringing together more than 130 collections across womenswear, footwear and fashion accessories, the three-day event hosted an unmissable core of key returning exhibitors including Guess, Joules, Fransa, b.Young, Joe Browns, Brakeburn, Lily & Me, Alice Collins, Pomodoro, Godske Group, Vero Moda, JJXX, JDY, BTX Group, Lunar, Caprice, Nova Leathers, Dreams, Luella Grey and Gianni Conti.

BDA Trend Presentations 

Forecasting agency BDA London also returned to the show to deliver a series of free, commercially focused trend presentations for buyers. 

Specialising in translating trend insights into actionable guidance, the BDA team selected their top picks and must-haves from across the collections on display at the show and were on hand to offer retailers advice and guidance on the season ahead. 

James Crabtree, Head of Fashion at AIS and curative lead of INDX Woman said: 

“We are thrilled to bring BDA London back to the INDX community. Our goal is to provide more than just a marketplace; we want to empower visitors with the knowledge to make confident, commercially successful buying decisions. BDA’s ability to translate high-level trends into relatable, store-ready insights is invaluable.”
