The Drapers Awards 2026 remain one of the most prestigious events in the UK fashion retail calendar, celebrating the retailers, brands and individuals driving the industry forward through innovation, resilience and outstanding performance.
Last night AIS was delighted to attend this year's awards, supporting an event that continues to recognise the very best of fashion retail across the UK.
We were proud to see several AIS Members recognised among this year's shortlisted businesses. Huge congratulations to Jarrolds & Sons on winning the Best Independent Department Store award, and to fellow AIS Members Elys, McElhinneys, R Barbour & Son and Walker & Ling on reaching the shortlist in what was a highly competitive category.
The evening provided a fantastic opportunity to recognise the achievements of businesses across the fashion sector and the passion, creativity and commitment that continue to shape the future of retail.
Thank you to the Drapers team for another excellent event, celebrating the very best of UK fashion retail.
