CMAI unveils a by-invitation fair for 11 leading Indian fashion brands.

The Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) has announced the debut edition of CMAI TRENDHAUS 2026 – India Brands Collective, an exclusive corporate booking fair that will bring together 11 prominent Indian fashion brands in a single curated space. Scheduled from January 26 to 30, 2026, the by-invitation-only event will be held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai.

Created as a focused platform for Autumn–Winter 2026 bookings, TRENDHAUS 2026 is designed to offer retailers a structured environment to preview collections, engage directly with brands and place advance orders. The closed-door format aims to provide brands and buyers the time and privacy needed for detailed discussions, product walkthroughs and strategic planning.

Santosh Katariya, President, CMAI, said, “TRENDHAUS is conceptualized to facilitate the seasonal booking efficiency for retailers by presenting them a seamless, curated environment to preview the new collections from select brands under one roof. This first-of-its-kind initiative also helps to save time, strengthen brand relationships, brand visibility, and streamline pre-season planning for both brands and retailers. CMAI will ensure that attendees enjoy never-seen-before, customized and exclusive services, complemented by the finest hospitality for a unique, productive and enriching experience”.

Across the five-day fair, participating brands will hold one-to-one meetings with retail decision-makers from across the country. CMAI expects around 2,000 pre-identified retailers to attend, including representatives from multi-brand outlets, exclusive brand outlets, large format stores, e-commerce platforms and franchisees. Networking dinners and curated interactions will further support business development and relationship building.

The exhibiting brands include Classic Polo, Easies, Gini & Jony, Indian Terrain, Integriti, Jr Killer, Killer, Nostrum, Spykar, Status Quo and Twills. Each label will showcase its range in tailored spaces spanning 4,000 sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft., offering buyers an immersive preview experience.

TRENDHAUS 2026 underscores CMAI’s continued effort to strengthen collaboration, professionalism and growth within India’s apparel sector.
