Celebrated designers Auguste Soesastro, Mel Ahyar, Jeffry Tan and Adrian Gan have been selected to showcase their creation based on the theme of “Borderless” for Dewi Fashion Knights (DFK), the climatic runway that closes the annual Jakarta Fashion Week.

The fashion week, dubbed the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia, opens on Oct. 22 and runs until Oct. 28 at Senayan City shopping mall in Central Jakarta. The DFK runway is scheduled on the fashion week’s final day.

JFW will feature over 2,800 pieces from the 2020 Summer/Spring collection by over 260 labels from both Indonesian designers and their foreign counterparts to be showcased in 76 runway shows.

International partners returning this year are British Council, Japan Fashion Week Organization, Korea Model Association and Korea Creative Content Agency as well as Tunis Fashion Week as the latest to join the list. JFW 2020 is also supported by the Tourism Ministry, Education and Culture Ministry, the Jakarta administration, as well as the embassies of Tunisia and Austria.

“Every year we raise a theme that is relevant to the times, and ‘Borderless’ is inspired by the development of information technology that gives access to open information. Social media is the real example of how the world is merging into one, without borders,” Margaretha Untoro, editor-in-chief of Dewi, Indonesia’s oldest fashion and lifestyle magazine, told a press conference on Oct. 9.
