INDX Woman returned to Cranmore Park 21 - 23 July 2024 for a sizzling summer edit.
With its friendly order-writing format, the 3-day show provided the ideal setting to explore what's new and wow-worthy for the seasons ahead and Buyers and exhibitors were in good spirits despite the inclement weather impacting fashion retail this season.
Meeting the needs of today's savviest buyers, INDX Woman brought together a commercially compelling brand edit led by on-trend insights, treating visitors to a showcase of over 125 brands across apparel, footwear, and accessories.
This season’s edit included destination wardrobe staples, fashion accessories, resortwear, footwear, and luggage, and the show attracted AIS Members alongside Buyers from department stores and boutiques, as well as garden centres and fashion indies.
AIS Member exclusive own lable First Avenue unveiled its SS25 collection during the show, and fashion consultant Iona Kleinen was also on-hand, and treated attendees to a series of Style Talks - offering styling inspiration from casual layers for the British weather, as well as key statement pieces, signature summer steals, and capsule wardrobe must-haves.
The stores I want to deal with are here. [INDX ] have an amazing plethora of brands because they have a unique offer in their location.
This our first time here. We were a last-minute booking but it’s been worthwhile. By Monday lunchtime we’d opened five accounts with people we didn’t know, which is what we are here for.
It’s a nice, relaxed show, very customer-friendly, which it makes it easy to sell.
INDX Woman is a good platform because the AIS-type stores are all local heroes with a positive reputation.
What’s nice is that I am seeing customers that I don’t already know and also they are serious buyers. You don’t get the onlookers here.
Next show: 29-30 January 2025
INDX Woman will return to Cranmore Park from Wednesday 29 - Thursday 30 January 2025 with a brand new look and feel and registration is open.
