The Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) has announced the launch of TRENDHAUS 2026 — India Brands Collective, a first-of-its-kind by-invitation booking fair showcasing some of India’s leading fashion brands, aimed at strengthening industry collaboration and boosting business growth.
Scheduled to take place early next year, TRENDHAUS 2026 will bring together 11 prominent Indian apparel brands under one roof for an exclusive opportunity where retailers, buyers, and trade partners can engage directly with decision-makers and brand representatives in a curated business environment.
Exclusive Platform for Fashion Business
Unlike typical consumer fashion shows, TRENDHAUS 2026 is an invitation-only booking fair — meaning participating brands will present their upcoming collections to industry buyers with business intent, facilitating pre-season orders, long-term sourcing partnerships, and strategic collaborations.
Industry insiders say this format reflects CMAI’s renewed focus on business-to-business engagement, helping Indian fashion labels scale domestically and internationally by connecting them with key stakeholders across retail, distribution, and export channels.
A Boost for India’s Apparel Sector
The initiative comes at a time when the Indian apparel and fashion industry is experiencing robust demand and evolving rapidly with global trends. Trade platforms such as TRENDHAUS play an increasingly important role in promoting Indian brands, providing visibility and networking opportunities that drive commercial growth.
The event also aligns with CMAI’s broader efforts to organise industry-focused trade events that support India’s textile and fashion ecosystem — similar in spirit to the association’s participation in major exhibitions and national garment fairs that bring together manufacturers, buyers and policymakers.
