Embarking on a journey through the realms of fashion innovation, PINTU Incubator adds another enthralling chapter to its narrative. This chapter is a manifestation of the bilateral collaboration between JF3, LAKON Indonesia, and the esteemed French Embassy in partnership with the Institut Francais d'Indonesie (IFI). As a Fashion Incubator, PINTU orchestrates a mesmerizing Trunk Show in conjunction with Ecole Duperre, an illustrious art school nestled at the heart of Paris. This extraordinary event takes center stage at the elegant French Ambassador Residence on July 25, 2023.
Ecole Duperre, an institution steeped in artistic legacy, lends its creative might to this cutting-edge endeavor. With a heritage spanning over two centuries, this institution has been a beacon of excellence and creativity in the world of fashion business. Operating under the patronage of the Ministry of National Education and the Paris City Hall, Ecole Duperre stands as a paragon of artistic brilliance.
As the curtains rise on this remarkable event, luminaries grace the stage, including Mr. Soegianto Nagaria, the Chairman of JF3, and Mr. Fabien Penone, adding their inspiring insights to the occasion. The discourse unfolds, illuminating how the PINTU Incubator program becomes a cornerstone in fortifying bilateral relations between the vibrant cultures of Indonesia and France. Within this pivotal juncture, PINTU Incubator extends a warm embrace to a delegation of five prodigious students from the esteemed Ecole Duperre Paris. Aptly named the "Focus Week," this showcase of talent spotlights the creative endeavors of Juliette Pasquier, Justin Matringe, Manon Gimbert, Bjorn Backes, and Julien Rimbert.
In this exhilarating confluence, PINTU Incubator participants seize the moment to unveil their distinctive collections. Esteemed brands such as Gona, Fuguku, and Triple I grace the platform, presenting their innovative creations. The Trunk Show transcends the confines of a traditional fashion event; it metamorphoses into a dynamic realm where knowledge and culture intertwine between two nations.
Fuguku, a name synonymous with innovation, is a brand shaped by the skilled artisans of Jakarta. Their range of contemporary products embraces the forefront of fabric experimentation, including revolutionary materials like recycled plastic bottles, championing the cause of responsible living.
Gona Bio, a trailblazer in BioCouture in Indonesia, presents sustainable luxury fashion crafted from ingenious materials, such as faux-leather derived through bacterial symbiosis and recycled food waste like orange peels and coffee. Gona's presentation, "HOLOMETABOLA," narrates the metamorphosis and transformation of GONA BioCouture nurtured through the PINTU Incubator.
Triple I (iii), an emblem of explorative design, stays committed to eco-friendly materials while fostering collaborations with local artists, giving birth to unique creations. Their capsule collection is an ode to the captivating beauty of the coast, sea, and coastal life, intertwining light and dark elements.
The runway, akin to a canvas adorned with shared narratives, mirrors the harmonious interplay of two distinctive artistic landscapes. This alliance echoes the essence of PINTU Incubator's mission, serving as a bridge that unites creative minds across diverse corners of the globe. The amalgamation of Indonesian and French creativity weaves seamlessly, resulting in a testament to the transcendental power of fashion.
PINTU Incubator's Trunk Show stands as a testament to the magnificence of collaboration and the richness of cultural exchange. This innovative spectacle fuses the artistic legacy of Ecole Duperre with the burgeoning talent cultivated by PINTU Incubator. As the curtain falls and applause resounds, the Trunk Show leaves an indelible imprint—a symphony of creativity, echoing the promise of harmonious artistic alliances in the realm of fashion.
