JAKARTA - The Indonesian lifestyle industry is witnessing a new standard in the combination of fashion and aesthetics. Entering its third year of organization, Indonesia Fashion Aesthetics (IFA) 2026 was officially held today at the Ballroom of The Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place, Jakarta. With the grand theme "Sophisticated", this event confirms its position as the most prestigious collaborative platform for actors in the fashion, beauty, and health industries.

The theme "Sophisticated" this year is not just a label. According to Dian Komalasary, Founder & CEO of IFA, this theme is a reflection of elegance that is born from maturity of thinking and curated taste.

"IFA has evolved into a benchmark for high-end lifestyle enthusiasts who prioritize quality and exclusivity. We are committed to continuing to improve these standards, both in terms of curating participants and the visual experience for visitors," said Dian.

One of the main magnets of IFA 2026 is the return of legendary models of the 90s to the runway stage. The presence of iconic figures such as Okky Asokawati, Soraya Haque, Thomas Djorghi, to Ratih Soe gives an elegant touch of nostalgia when they present the works of famous designers.

The fashion show was divided into three sequences (sequences) that featured a slick synergy between senior designers and modern labels:

Sequence 1: Featuring collaborations Itang Yunasz x Torenda, Widhi Budimulia, Lina Sukijo, to Benang Jarum. Sequence 2: Featuring a row of top-notch modest labels such as Vivi Zubedi, Ayu Dyah Andari, and international brand Rizman Ruzaini. Sequence 3: Closed with a prestigious collection from Denny Wirawan, Eridani, Motif Hawa, and Buttonscarves.

Award for Pioneers: IFA Award 2026 As a form of appreciation for creative economic drivers, IFA again awarded the IFA AWARD 2026. Some big names who won awards this year include:

Sebastian Gunawan (The Most Inspiring Couture Designer)

Ayu Dyah Andari (The Most Inspiring Modest Fashion Designer)

Understanding the high enthusiasm for shopping ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, IFA 2026 also presents an exhibition area. This exhibition is designed as a one-stop-shopping for visitors looking for high-quality fashion and beauty products in a luxurious atmosphere.

The implementation of IFA 2026 has the full support of the Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency (EKRAF) and the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia, as well as partnering with strategic partners such as BCA Syariah and Buttonscarves Beauty.
