Lil Public Expands Its Global Reach with Strong Debut at Paris Trade Show 2025

The prestigious trade show, held from October 3–6, 2025, at the iconic Jardin des Tuileries in Paris, brought together a curated selection of local brands alongside international fashion leaders, buyers, and influencers. For Lil Public, the event was more than a runway presentation, it was a platform to showcase a collection that fuses street culture, literature, and art into wearable pieces that resonate globally. Each design, from oversized t-shirts and work jackets to jersey shirts and signature accessories, reflects a narrative-driven approach that merges creativity with market readiness.

The results were immediate. On the first day, Lil Public captured the attention of buyers from Amsterdam, Netherlands, who purchased flagship pieces for their stores. Japanese visitors were equally captivated by the brand’s silver necklaces with pin accents and playful monster-shaped pendants, acquiring them on the spot. This enthusiastic reception underscores not only the quality of the designs but also the brand’s ability to translate local creative expressions into products with international appeal.

Lil Public’s global debut would not have been possible without the guidance of PINTU Incubator, a collaborative initiative by LAKON Indonesia, JF3 Fashion Festival, and the French Embassy in Indonesia through Institut Français d’Indonésie (IFI). Now in its fourth year, PINTU Incubator serves as a leading fashion incubator, providing Indonesian designers with tailored mentoring, business development support, and exposure to international networks. Through structured programs, curated training sessions, and opportunities to showcase in events like Première Classe, PINTU equips emerging brands to navigate the complexities of the global fashion business while remaining rooted in Indonesian cultural identity.

This achievement also highlights PINTU Incubator’s ongoing commitment to fostering meaningful cross-cultural connections. By bridging Indonesian talent with international markets, the program strengthens creative collaboration, nurtures innovation, and supports sustainable growth in fashion. Lil Public’s success exemplifies the program’s vision: combining craft, cultural storytelling, and strategic business insights to ensure Indonesian brands can confidently compete on the global stage.

The Paris Trade Show experience is a stepping stone for Lil Public, demonstrating the power of international exposure in building brand visibility, credibility, and commercial success. It reaffirms that through the PINTU Incubator incubator program, young designers can transform creative potential into tangible global impact. With continued mentorship, collaboration, and access to global opportunities, brands like Lil Public are shaping the future of Indonesian fashion while enhancing the nation’s presence in the international fashion business ecosystem.

As Lil Public returns from Paris, its success serves as a testament to the effectiveness of a structured, strategic incubator program that not only nurtures talent but also empowers designers to reach new markets, attract international buyers, and leave a lasting mark on the global fashion scene. PINTU Incubator continues to demonstrate that Indonesia’s creative industries are ready to thrive beyond borders.
