Continuing its mission to nurture Indonesia’s emerging fashion talents, PINTU Incubator 2025 presents an even more dynamic and globally connected program. This year, participants will experience 29 exclusive mentoring sessions across ten key categories, including Business Plan, Export-Import, Finance and Accounting, Merchandising, Legal, Branding, Product Workshop, and more. A special highlight of this year’s program is the 1-on-1 session with a French expert, offering invaluable insights into the international fashion industry. A special highlight is the Sharing Session with Irwan Mussry, a leading figure in Indonesia’s luxury brand industry, who will share his expertise in an exclusive Sharing Session offering valuable insights into navigating the high-end fashion market.
Spanning six transformative months, the program begins with intensive mentoring from March to September, the program includes intensive mentoring, multiple curation stages, and a Focus Week in July, where French fashion mentors provide hands-on guidance. In October 2025, selected brands will have the opportunity to showcase their collections at the prestigious Première Classe Paris Trade Show, a key platform for international exposure.
A groundbreaking addition this year is the Residency Program. For the first time, young French designers will reside in Indonesia for 3-4 months, immersing themselves in the country’s rich heritage of batik, weaving, and artisanal craftsmanship. Working hand-in-hand with local designers, they will create collections that blend the best of Indonesia’s cultural heritage with contemporary French design sensibilities, fostering a meaningful exchange of skills and culture while expanding creative possibilities for both markets.
Through this unique cross-cultural exchange, PINTU Incubator 2025 is not only shaping the future of Indonesian fashion but also fostering deep connections between Indonesian and French designers, enriching the global fashion landscape.
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.
