Description
As we step into 2026, this edition of IMAGES Business of Fashion marks an important new beginning—and a defining milestone. January also sees the 25th edition of India Fashion Forum, to be held on January 28–29, 2026, at Sheraton Grand, Whitefield, Bengaluru. What began as a focused industry gathering has evolved into India’s most influential platform for fashion, retail, and lifestyle, mirroring the growth, resilience, and ambition of the industry it represents.
As India Fashion Forum enters its silver jubilee year, it stands not only as a celebration of legacy, but as a catalyst for the future. The 2026 theme, “Empowering Fashion’s Future – In uence | Impact | Innovation,” reflects the industry’s need to think boldly, collaborate deeply, and act with purpose. At a time when fashion is being reshaped by changing consumer expectations, digital acceleration, sustainability imperatives, and new business models, IFF 2026 aims to spark meaningful conversations that translate insight into action.
Over two days, the forum will offer a dynamic mix of programming designed for engagement and business impact. From IFF Conference Sessions exploring market trends, consumer behaviour, and transformation strategies, to CX Forum discussions on customer experience, digital reinvention, and omnichannel evolution, the agenda is built for relevance. Interactive workshops, masterclasses, and the IFF Innovators Club Conclave will spotlight emerging ideas, pioneering solutions, and the next generation of fashion leadership. Networking meetups and breakout sessions will further enable collaboration across the ecosystem.
IFF 2026 will also showcase fashion shows, brand launches, curated collections, and discovery platforms for retailers. The event will culminate with the IMAGES Fashion Awards and RSWM Partner Awards, recognising excellence and innovation across India’s fashion retail landscape. With 100+ exhibitors, 300+ speakers, 400 brands, and over 2,500 attendees, IFF 2026 promises to be a landmark gathering. We look forward to welcoming you in Bengaluru. Happy New Year.
