INDX Woman | Show Report July 2026

INDX Woman returned to Solihull event venue Cranmore Park, from Sunday 19 July to Tuesday 21 July 2026, welcoming a positive crowd of retailers from across the UK and Ireland. 

Curated to fuel imagination, elevate range planning, and guide buyers to those key pieces that will define the season ahead. INDX Woman hosted 3 trends throughout the showroom; Rivera Club, Crafted Earth and Dark Nature.

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.  

Returning retailers

Leading lifestyle brands including Joe Browns, Joules, Crew Clothing, Superdry and Weird Fish expanded their commitment to INDX Trade Shows, investing in both the INDX National Menswear Show and INDX Woman events and signing up for multiple seasons as retailers increasingly prioritised focused, commercially driven buying environments.

In a significant vote of confidence for the INDX platform, Joules also secured dedicated space beyond the main exhibition floor to create a pop-up showroom concept, providing retailers with an enhanced opportunity to explore collections across both categories throughout the season.

The increased commitment from major brands came as INDX Woman continued to grow exhibitor numbers and the INDX National Menswear Show retained its position as the UK’s only national menswear trade show.

The growing presence of brands exhibiting across both menswear and womenswear categories reflected the changing nature of retail itself, with many independent retailers and buying teams increasingly seeking lifestyle collections that spanned multiple departments and customer demographics.

Networking Social 

After the show on Sunday, visitors and exhibitors joined the team from AIS to celebrate their milestone 50-year anniversary at the after-show Networking Social. 

Taking place onsite at The Loft bar and eatery this was an informal opportunity to get together and catch up with drinks, canapes, and live music - well-attended and enjoyed by all.
