ubbed as the largest runway show in Southeast Asia, Jakarta Fashion Week (JFW) 2021 is set to present the latest fashion trendsetters in clothing and accessories on a digital platform.
“This year, all content will be prerecorded and fully digitalized. We also shorten the [event] from the usual week to four days,” JFW director Lenni Tedja said at a virtual press conference on Thursday.
JFW 2021 is to be livestreamed this year from Nov. 26-29 on JFW.TV, a microsite on the event’s official website, jakartafashionweek.co.id. The event will also be aired on the JFW’s social media accounts as well as the websites of event partners.
Meanwhile, the production will be run from Senayan City, the South Jakarta shopping mall that is one of the city’s fashion hubs and the official venue of the JFW.
This year’s event features as many as 16 shows to showcase the designs of 61 local labels and designers. It will also host a special tribute to Barli Asmara in the Dewi Fashion Knights runway show, which is to be presented in a different format.
Barli, a seminal figure in Indonesian fashion, passed away in August from a chronic illness. He was 42. Among Indonesia’s pioneering designers, Barli was known for his closing number, which was always worth the wait for its fresh and quirky concept.
Among the lineup are Rani Hatta, Restu Anggraini, Batik Chic, Tities Saputra, Wilsen Willim, Amot Syamsurimuda, Albert Yanuar, Kami, Yosafat Dwi Kurniawan, Lekat, Calla The Label, Cotton Ink, Jenahara, Bateeq and Rinaldy Yunardi with his foowear line, Refounders.
