Indonesia Fashion Week 2026

Indonesia Fashion Week 2026, held from 29 July to 2 August at the Jakarta International Convention Center, featured a broad showcase of regional small‑ and medium‑enterprise (UMKM) designers. The opening coverage highlighted participants from Gorontalo and Medan, presenting traditional textiles such as Karawo and collections that blended tropical motifs with local cultural identity. Government‑linked sponsors, including Bank Indonesia and Pertamina Patra Niaga, supported dozens of artisans and aimed to expand market access and promote sustainable economic development.

Later reporting from the same event focused on specific cultural narratives and designer initiatives. The mayor of Palu, Hj. Diah Puspita, presented the Kriyawastra Daun Kelor textile tradition, emphasizing the storytelling value of each fabric. The runway also featured the RumaR brand’s “Assara Heritage Imagination” collection, which drew on South Sulawesi’s sunset scenery and incorporated ATBM woven fabric into modest, ready‑to‑wear designs.

Pertamina Patra Niaga used the week to spotlight 11 of its UMKM partners, displaying items such as Vite’s pearl‑adorned silver rings and Narita Shibori’s inclusive fashion pieces. Corporate communications highlighted the initiative as a way to give local micro‑, small‑ and medium‑enterprises broader national and international exposure, noting that UMKM are the backbone of Indonesia’s economy. Visitors reported purchasing products from the UMKM booths, while other designers presented collections including Khayae’s velvet‑and‑payet pieces, Ronie Parero’s Cloud Bloom couture, and a batik showcase titled RAGAM KULTURA Jakarta. The event underscored the growing synergy between Indonesia’s creative industry and corporate support for local artisans.
