Lakon is an ecosystem that was formed with its main mission being to develop solid businesses for the many talented craftspeople and their incredible know-how. The fashion brand has put its business expertise at the core of its efforts to create new and fresh designs using the many techniques found in Indonesia.
The rich heritage of weaving and batik is not only maintained but the artisans are supported and educated in the ever-changing fashion landscape so as to develop sustained businesses.
Through this support, the know-how is no longer in danger of disappearing, and the craft remains desirable to design talent and the fashion industry.
JF3 is a private-initiated and government-backed Indonesian organization that is designed to promote the Indonesian fashion industry on a national level.
JF3 aims to empower small and medium-sized designer brands and artisans, contributing to the growth of the fashion industry across the country. It helps to drive their scalability to continue and expand to international markets.
Every year, JF3 collaborates with the fashion industry in the JF3 Fashion Festival, the venue for leading designers and promising young designers to showcase their latest creations. Through platforms such as JF3 Model Search and PINTU, JF3 aspires to encourage the presence of new talent in the Indonesian Fashion industry and beyond.
