PINTU Incubator is dedicated to supporting the Indonesia-France fashion ecosystem by empowering talented young designers from both countries through market expansion, product development, and cultural exchange. One of its key initiatives is the Fashion Parade Show featuring five brands from the PINTU Incubator's second curation, alongside six alumni from École Duperré Paris. This exciting runway show, titled “PINTU Incubator Participants X École Duperré,” took place on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, during the sixth day of the JF3 Fashion Festival 2024 at the Salsa Fashion Tent, Summarecon Mall Serpong.

During the registration phase for the 2024 program, PINTU Incubator received over 500 submissions, reflecting the overwhelming enthusiasm of young designers eager to participate in this initiative. Following a rigorous selection process, the first curation results were announced on March 20, 2024, advancing seven brands to the next phase. These brands engaged in a series of workshops, coaching sessions, and intensive mentoring led by industry professionals in fashion, business, branding, and law. On July 5, 2024, the second curation narrowed the field to five brands, who presented their collections at the “PINTU Incubator Participants X École Duperré” parade show at JF3 2024. The participating brands were:

  • Enigma Art Textile presented a collection called “Circularity.”

These five PINTU Incubator participants shared the runway with six alumni from École Duperré Paris:
