When was Jakarta Fashion Week 2026?
Jakarta Fashion Week AW26 ran from 26 October–1 November 2026 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Venues, cast and beauty teams vary by house.
02 / History
A 2008 launch by Femina Group
Jakarta Fashion Week was first staged in 2008, initiated by Femina Group with backing from the DKI Jakarta Tourism Office and Indonesia’s two established national designer associations, APPMI and IPMI. The inaugural edition, held at Pacific Place Jakarta, featured 47 designers — a figure that grew quickly, reaching 108 designers in 2009 and 159 by 2010.
03 / History
Growth and relocation
The week moved venues as it grew, relocating to Plaza Senayan and later Senayan City between 2012 and 2019, before a 2019 rebrand under new ownership by GCM Group introduced a new logo and identity. It adapted to digital broadcasting during the COVID-19 disruption of 2020–2021, and has run from Pondok Indah Mall 3 since 2022.
04 / History
Southeast Asia’s largest fashion event
Jakarta Fashion Week is billed as the largest fashion event in Southeast Asia, with participation growing to roughly 270 designers in recent editions — a scale reflecting Indonesia’s position as one of the region’s largest garment and textile economies. The week continues to run in partnership with the Indonesian Fashion Chamber.
