This weekend will mark a mini fashion revolution, as INDX Shows prepares to open its doors on Sunday 26 January for the winter edition of INDX National Kidswear Show, which will also include the debut of a brand-new event, INDX National Kids Footwear Show.

 

 

Associated Independent Stores (AIS) – the UK’s leading buying, event, and services group for independent retail – has been bringing the kidswear industry together at retail trade shows for over two decades, so it knows a thing or two about what kidswear buyers are looking for. Visitors attending INDX this season can therefore expect the ultimate one-stop destination for children’s fashion, accessories and footwear.

 

 

Commenting on the upcoming shows is event manager, Varsha Chohan.

“At INDX, we are constantly evolving to keep up with the fast-paced retail world, and we’re always on the lookout for new ways to equip retailers with the tools and connections they need to thrive. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with the kids’ footwear industry to bring retailers a new event… Get ready for the INDX National Kids Footwear Show, taking place alongside the INDX National Kidswear Show and launching on 26-27 January 2025.”

 

 

While INDX National Kidswear Show will present attendees with a commercially crafted product showcase of children’s apparel and accessories brands, visitors looking for the latest footwear trends will be able to explore the category from a dedicated exhibition space.

The Networking Social will provide an informal opportunity to catch up, connect and relax with drinks, canapes and live entertainment.

 

 

“The January event is quite simply the ultimate one-stop kids’ retail destination,” concludes Chohan. “Our West Midlands event home, Cranmore Park, is easy to get to and offers first-rate hospitality, and while we are open to all retailers, our pre-vetted admission policy ensures a professional, buying-focused environment.”
