Indonesia fashion industry collaboration initiatives

Overview

In late July 2026, the Medan Fashion Trend 2026 event, organized by Bank Indonesia’s provincial office and the Indonesia Fashion Chamber (IFC) Chapter Medan, showcased a “Circular Fashion Movement” that highlighted traditional textiles and sustainable design. The four‑day showcase featured over 500 looks from local UMKM designers and emphasized the creative economy’s growth through workshops, exhibitions, and competitions.

A week later, at Indonesia Fashion Week 2026, Indonesia partnered with Italy to strengthen the country’s leather sector. The Italian Trade Agency and local industry groups held meetings and matchmaking sessions aimed at transferring technology, improving quality standards, and enhancing workforce skills. The initiative seeks to expand Indonesian leather products—such as bags, shoes, and accessories—into global markets.

Together, these events illustrate a broader push by Indonesian authorities and industry partners to modernize the fashion sector, combining domestic sustainability efforts with international technology collaborations.
