The nominees and finalists of the Stars Best Shop Awards 2026 have cast their votes for the Best Selling Collections for Spring/Summer ’26 across the categories below. Winners will be revealed at the Stars Gala evening on Thursday 5th November 2026 at the wonderful Underglobe at Shakespeare’s Globe. Finalists are listed in alphabetical order.
For the first time this year, we have introduced a brand-new category – Designer Brand. This exciting new award was opened up to all retailers, giving the wider retail community the opportunity to recognise the designer brands and collections that have made the biggest impact in their stores.
The awards celebrate the brands and collections that retailers believe have delivered outstanding design, desirability and commercial success throughout the season.
These awards are voted for by the retailers themselves, giving the results a unique perspective from those on the shop floor and at the heart of the industry.
This year marks the 18th anniversary of the Stars Best Shop Awards, and we are proud to continue to celebrate the very best of British and Irish retail.
The awards are only made possible with the generous support of our primary sponsors Hyosung Corporation, Wacoal Europe and Panache Lingerie.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our valued supporters INDX Intimate Apparel Show (AIS), Anita Since 1886, Miraclesuit, Cupid Intimates & Patricia Eve, Chantelle, Cyberjammies, Soak Wash, The Wonderland Show and BIRA (British Independent Retailers Association) for their support in making Stars happen.
Congratulations and the very best of luck to all the 2026 Stars Awards finalists!
