Indonesian fashion expands with new retail and major industry events

The Indonesian fashion landscape is seeing increased activity through new retail spaces and major industry events. The Canopy Room, a platform curating various local fashion brands, has opened its first permanent physical store at Plaza Indonesia in Jakarta. Following eight months of online operations, the move responds to consumer demand to experience and try on products from emerging and established local brands from regions including Surabaya, Bali, and Bandung.

Simultaneously, the 20th edition of Fashion Nation is being held at Senayan City from September 18 to 26, 2026. Themed ‘The Icon Edit’, the event features a range of designers, including Mel Ahyar Archipelago, which draws inspiration from Nias culture, and TOTON, which emphasizes artisanal, slow-fashion techniques. The event includes various programs such as runway shows, exhibitions by the Indonesian Fashion Designers Council, and community-focused fashion gatherings.
