Jakarta Fashion Week or JFW is a fashion event held annually in Jakarta, Indonesia. Since its first edition in 2008, JFW was being held at the Pacific Place shopping mall, but later the main event is shifted to Senayan City. JFW organized as a collaboration between the Municipal Government of Jakarta, major stakeholders of the fashion industry and Feminagroup.

 

The event aims to provide directions to the Indonesian fashion industry as well as a vehicle to demonstrate its wealth in talents and creativity. and ultimately transform Jakarta as a major fashion hub in the region and the world.

The impact and reach of Jakarta Fashion Week have been recognized by professionals in the fashion industry, such as journalists, buyers, photographers, stylists, and even international models that have made this annual event even more popular. With the support of various stakeholders, who may have different interests, the work produced has the same goal, advancing the fashion industry, especially the national industry.
