WHAT ARE THE
BENEFITS OF
JOINING OUR
PROGRAM?
Launched in April 2022 as a bilateral collaborative initiative between JF3, LAKON Indonesia, and the French Embassy through Institut Français d'Indonésie (IFI), PINTU Incubator was born from one shared belief: Indonesia's emerging creative talents deserve more than just opportunity. They deserve an ecosystem built to help them grow.
The program welcomed fashion business owners, SMEs, and young creatives ready to take their brands further. Through an immersive curriculum spanning Finance & Accounting, Product Development, and Marketing, Incubees gained the tools to build brands with both creative confidence and business clarity, guided by over 26 expert mentors from leading local and international names, including H&M Indonesia, UNIQLO, LAKON Indonesia, LeBoYe, Dia.Lo.Gue, Phoa Bing Hauw Center Patent, LPTB Susan Budihardjo, BTPN, Pradita University, and French designer Louise Lyngh Bjerregaard, across 24 sessions totaling 70 hours.
The program culminated in a runway showcase at JF3 Fashion Festival 2022, where seven curated brands (Maria Adiputri, Nona Rona, Oemah Etnik, Rizkya Batik, Tailor Moon, Tepa Selira, and WGB) each presented 12 collections before a panel of five distinguished curators.
This was not an ending, but a beginning. With mentors Lucie Brochard and Studio Clandestin bridging both countries, four Indonesian brands (Apakabar, Parapohon, Tenun Imam, and Tenun Lurik Rachmad) went on to present their collections at Première Classe Paris in March 2023, marking PINTU's first step onto the international fashion stage.
PINTU as it continues to grow will draw the attention of more international media and more organizations like us. PINTU will be able to spread to the press, social media and invite all those new amazing designers to be part of the international events. Being invited to Paris Fashion Week or Milan Fashion Week for example.
