WHAT ARE THE
BENEFITS OF
JOINING OUR
PROGRAM?
PINTU is back. And in 2026, it goes further than ever before.
Rooted in a deep commitment to nurturing Indonesia's emerging fashion talents, PINTU Incubator Program returns with a more immersive, globally connected experience. Across four transformative months, from April through July, Incubees will engage in 37 curated class sessions spanning the full spectrum of the fashion industry: from Business Planning and Merchandising to Fintech, Export-Import, Law & Intellectual Property, Product Development, Communication, and Styling.
This year, the program reaches beyond borders. In an exciting continuation of its international collaboration, two distinguished French industry experts will bring Incubees global perspectives straight from the heart of the French fashion world. Amandine Chiron will contribute to 3 class sessions, while Darja Richter-Widhoff will contribute through 2 one-on-one sessions and 1 general class session. Alongside this, each Incubee will have the opportunity to deepen their growth through exclusive 1-on-1 mentoring sessions, while guest mentors from across the industry join select classes to share real-world insights and expertise.
At the heart of the program lies the Focus Week, a moment where learning becomes a lived experience. The first Focus Week unfolds in Jakarta in July, where Incubees come together for hands-on mentorship and collaborative exploration. The second brings selected Incubees to Paris in October, where they will observe and explore the prestigious Première Classe Paris Trade Show, gaining direct exposure to international market dynamics, buyer behavior, and global industry standards.
Throughout it all, Incubees undergo a rigorous journey of structured mentoring, continuous evaluation, and hands-on development, sharpening both their creative instincts and business acumen in equal measure.
PINTU Incubator Program is more than a program. It is a launchpad, designed to bridge local brilliance with global opportunity, and to equip Indonesia's next generation of designers with the knowledge, perspective, and connections to truly thrive on the world 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.
