INDX Man returns this July following a buoyant February edition
Following a buoyant February edition, which saw many exhibitors recording their best order-writing show to date, INDX Man returns to West Midlands exhibition venue Cranmore Park from 16 – 18 July 2023 and visitor registration is open: www.indxshows.co.uk/indx-fashion/menswear/registration
As part of the INDX portfolio of tradeshows, which are renowned for their friendly, business-focused format, INDX Man is organised by Associated Independent Stores (AIS), the UK’s leading buying and services group for Fashion, Home, and Leisure.
Offering an inclusive showcase covering Apparel, Footwear, and Accessories, INDX Man is designed to provide retailers and suppliers with a relaxed, professional environment, is a key networking opportunity and the industry’s premier order-writing UK show.
Bringing together over 130 brands, INDX Man is a calendar must-visit for all menswear stockists and every season it welcomes an enviable footfall of respected retailers, including AIS Members, department stores, high street independents, category specialists, garden centres, and e-tailers.
James Crabtree, Head of Fashion at AIS believes the ongoing strategy to deliver a collaborative and trend driven show is key to its continued growth:
“Each edition of INDX Man has its own identity, and we respond to industry feedback and market developments to ensure retailers can come and find everything they need, all in one place.
“It’s great seeing the show evolve and we’re particularly happy to see more retailers visiting from Ireland, as well as major players including Next, Frasers and Sainsbury's"
With a strong buying background, including roles at Shop Direct Group, Damart UK, Studio and TJ Hughes, Annmarie Collie-King, Menswear Buyer, AIS is one of the team of experts responsible for building the brand selection:
“Feedback from our community of indie retailers indicates that Menswear trade continues to be buoyant this year, and that fashion is as important to men as it is to women.
“There’s a lot of confidence in strong lifestyle brands who are driving sales of work wear, denim, and shirts, and the modern tailoring trend which is seeing customers move away from traditional suiting to smart/casual separates.
“These key themes will be reflected in our brand mix for July, and we’ll also continue to act as a platform for new and emerging brands, such as Lakeland who launched in February, and Esprit, who will be using the next show to re-launch to the UK”
INDX Man is free to attend, and Cranmore Park offers unrivalled visitor facilities including free onsite parking and complimentary refreshments.
