About

Who we are
& what we do

For all of your wholesale apparel, accessory, and footwear buying needs, we’ve got you covered!  Appealing to retailers from Vancouver Island all the way to Ontario’s lakehead region, our members/reps exhibit at the TRENDS Apparel show to offer you the widest variety of brands for your store.

What

TRENDS Apparel is the first event of its kind in Canada that involves the participation of wholesale sales representatives showing Men’s, Ladies, Children’s, Footwear, Sport, Street, Work, Western, Lingerie, Swim, Lifestyle and Gift product lines at one event.

Who

The TRENDS Apparel show is produced by the Alberta Men’s Wear Agents Association, which has a proud history of hosting the largest and most successful apparel show in Canada.

How

The TRENDS Apparel show evolved from the need to combine the participation of sales representatives attending the Alberta Men’s Wear Show and the Alberta Fashion Market Society, as well as to satisfy the diversifying buying requirements of retailers. Convenience for the retailers/buyers remains a key driving factor in our show.

Now

TRENDS Apparel was launched in March 2002 and today we have more than 150 Western-Canada based members representing 1000+ brands.
