Who's Next, Paris

25 and counting: Indian brands showing in Paris this September

By Expo Connexion16 June 202625 brands and counting

This September, a group of Indian brands shows in Paris, at Who's Next, the city's biggest B2B fashion floor, from 5 to 7 September 2026 at Porte de Versailles, in front of buyers from across the world.

We curate hard, so this isn't a random list. It's womenswear built on handloom and hand embroidery, leather woven by hand, sculptural silver, plant-based luxury, playful homeware, even hair accessories. The thread running through all of them is craft, the thing India does better than almost anywhere.

And the list is still growing. More brands are joining before the show, so call this 25 and counting. If you want your label on it, there's still time. Here are the 25 so far.

Womenswear and ready-to-wear
