RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The JF3 Fashion Festival 2026 returns with a mission to reinforce Indonesia’s fashion industry ecosystem, positioning itself as a platform that connects designers with markets, networks, and business opportunities.

Carrying the theme “Recrafted: Shaping the Future”, the festival will run from July 23–29, 2026, at the Fashion Tent, Summarecon Mall Kelapa Gading, Jakarta.

JF3 Advisor Thresia Mareta highlighted Indonesia’s wealth of craftsmanship, materials, knowledge, and cultural identity, stressing the need to channel these assets into the right ecosystem.

“All of this potential is not enough if it remains only as potential,” she said, noting that JF3 aims to provide space for designers to grow, exchange ideas, and pursue new opportunities.

Since its inception in 2004, JF3 has evolved into a collaborative hub, bringing together designers, brands, SMEs, artisans, educational institutions, creative communities, media, buyers, and international partners.

JF3 Chairman Soegianto Nagaria emphasized the importance of building a consistent ecosystem to generate greater economic impact. “Through JF3, we connect creative processes with real market access, from runway to consumer. Creativity supported by the right infrastructure will deliver far stronger economic results,” he explained.

This year’s edition will feature more than 50 designers and brands from Indonesia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Europe.

Indonesian participants include established names such as Tities Sapoetra, Hartono Gan, AMOTSYAMSURIMUDA, Adrie Basuki, Sofie, and LAKON Indonesia, alongside emerging talents like Billy Tjong, YASA, The Theme, and Super Sentimental Secret Theory.

International participants include ROHAN MIRZA STUDIO, TAREET, and French designer Louise Marcaud, as well as Korean designers through collaboration with Busan Fashion Week.

The ASEAN Fashion Designers Showcase will also present labels from the Philippines, Laos, and Singapore.

By bringing together diverse creative voices, JF3 Fashion Festival 2026 aims to expand cross‑border exchanges and strengthen business networks, while reinforcing Indonesia’s position in the global fashion landscape. (Diva Rifdah)
