The Jakarta Fashion Week (JFW) is Indonesia’s definitive fashion event, held annually

The Jakarta Fashion Week (JFW) is Indonesia’s definitive fashion event, held annually to showcase Indonesian fashion design talents as well as the progress of its burgeoning fashion and creative industry. The goal is to establish the city of Jakarta as a global fashion hub. Most shows are invites-only, reserved for buyers, local and foreign media, socialites, celebrities and the rest of the fashion-loving public.

This year’s schedule of events promises a more vibrant and diverse line-up of participating designers. Over 150 designers—local, regional and international have confirmed their attendance at Jakarta Fashion Week 2012. Opening night features four of ASEAN’s global talents: Biyan from Indonesia, the Singapore-born England-based Ashley Isham, Malaysia’s Bernard Chandran and Thailand’s Tube Gallery. They are also hosting British milliner Justin Smith’s collaboration with Oscar Lawalata. Not to mention the closing event, the much anticipated Dewi Fashion Knights, which boasts the latest collections from Indonesia’s elite designers such as Tex Saverio, Sebastian Gunawan, Sally Koeswanto, Sally Djojokartiko and Auguste Soesastro.
