A French streetwear label that dressed Playboi Carti just shared a runway with a denim brand from a startup accelerator in Jakarta. That's the whole point of this year's show.
A designer from Lombok spends four months trading techniques with a designer from Paris. A Korean idol-turned-entrepreneur flies in to watch her handbags walk an Indonesian runway. None of this reads like a typical fashion week press release  and that's exactly the shift BRI JF3 Fashion Festival 2026 is betting on.

BRI JF3 Fashion Festival is Indonesia's longest-running fashion event, founded by Summarecon in 2004 and now in its 22nd edition. Held in Jakarta under the theme "Recrafted: Shaping the Future," the 2026 edition centers on international collaboration  pairing Indonesian designers with counterparts from France, South Korea, and beyond. Program details, designer lineups, and access information are updated on the festival's official channels. 

What Is BRI JF3 Fashion Festival 2026?

JF3 started as a single fashion show and has since grown into something closer to an ecosystem  connecting designers, brands, media, retailers, and now international partners under one roof. Its biggest structural advantage: direct access to Summarecon's retail network, meaning a look on the runway can, in theory, reach a store shelf faster than at most other Indonesian fashion events.

"Indonesia has enormous craftsmanship, material, and cultural knowledge," said Thresia Mareta, Advisor of JF3 Fashion Festival. "But potential alone isn't enough  it needs direction and the right system behind it. At JF3, we want designers to not just show up, but to grow, exchange, and find their next step."

What International Collaborations Are Happening at JF3 2026?
Three partnerships anchor this year's program. French label TAREET known for dressing Playboi Carti and ENHYPEN, and for designing Olympique de Marseille's PUMA jersey  teamed up with Indonesian denim brand DENIMITUP for "Fas Delman," a streetwear collection blending Indonesian and Senegalese influences.

Then there's PINTU Residency, now in its second year: a four-month program (April to July 2026) pairing two Indonesian designers with two French designers, curated by Thresia Mareta, Pascaline Wilhelm, and Carol Meyer. In Lombok, French designer Mickaël Nana worked with Indonesian designer Beatrice Angelica on GARUDA, fusing Western tailoring with Lombok's tenun and songket weaving. In Mojokerto, Lisa Rayar and Gabriel Marcella developed AU LARGE, mixing batik with French maritime and uniform references.

Rounding things out, LAKON Indonesia partnered with South Korean bag brand euneun for "Harsa"  36 looks under Creative Director Irsan built from batik, hand embroidery, poplin, voile, satin duchess, and organza. euneun's founder, Korean idol and actress Hahm Eun-jung, attended in person, a small but telling sign of how far these partnerships now reach.

Why This Matters Beyond the Runway
Chairman Soegianto Nagaria framed it plainly: "We connect the creative process to real market access  from runway straight to consumer. A strong fashion industry doesn't grow from one event, but from an ecosystem built consistently."

That's the counterintuitive part: JF3's real product isn't the show itself, it's the pipeline behind it  designers who leave with new techniques, new collaborators, and in some cases, a faster route to shelves.
