Jakarta Fashion Week: a quick guide

Jakarta Fashion Week, the main fashion week in Indonesia will open on October 24 at Senayan City, Jakarta.

The Fashion Week will bring together hundreds of Indonesian designers, and their compatriots from countries including Japan, Thailand, and South Korea, to celebrate local creativity and showcase their best work before an international audience, both at the event and on television.

Now in its eighth year, Jakarta Fashion Week is supported by high-end Jakarta shopping centre Senayan City.

Svida Alisjahbana, CEO of Femina Group and chairman of Jakarta Fashion Week 2016, says support from Senayan City is meaningful to Jakarta Fashion Week given the mall’s reputation as a premium shopping destination with high-end boutiques from Italy and France, as well as various other fashion brands from around the world.

“With the convening of JFW 2016 in Senayan City, Jakarta Fashion Week will have a value comparable to the fashion brands stationed there, and this is something that is very encouraging. It is time to introduce Indonesian fashion labels to the public so that they can understand and love the creativity apparent in our local products that is no less great than those in the products of international brands.”

Along with the celebration of Senayan City 9 Infinite Years, Senayan City will present an exclusive collaboration entitled Capsule Collection F/W 2015 which will feature designers Danjyo Hiyoji, KLE, and Hunting Fields, with creations made specifically for JFW 2016. The Capsule Collection F/W 2015 and TIKprive X Stella Rissa fashion show will present at the Fashion Tent in JFW 2016 on October 29.

Senayan City will also present fashion shows featuring the latest collections from tenant brands, such as Bebe, Promod, and Debenhams.
