A local fashion brand from Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Jaleela, is increasingly popular and confident in presenting their works to the public. Most recently, Jaleela will appear at Indonesia Fashion Week (IFW) 2023.
IFW itself is the biggest fashion event in Indonesia which is held to develop all the potential of the Indonesian fashion world.
IFW 2023 will be held from 22 February to 26 February at the Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta. Carrying the theme ‘Segara dari Timur’ or The Miracle of Wallacea”, IFW 2023 wants to return to presenting a new wave of creativity in the fashion world by highlighting the beauty and everyday life of Indonesia in the Wallacea Zone.
This theme was carried out because Indonesia is very rich in biota, abiota, and culture. So that IFW 2023 wants to highlight the beauty of maritime tourism owned by Eastern Indonesia through this theme. Meanwhile, Jaleela, as one of NTB’s well-known fashion brands, will also appear to enliven the biggest fashion show event in Indonesia.
Jaleela will be one of the 400 fashion brand participants and 200 designers who will appear at IFW 2023.

Jaleela wants to convey a message to protect our beautiful underwater world so that it remains sustainable,” he stressed. “Hopefully the work we present can be well appreciated, and later Jaleela will be better known in the national and international arena,” said the woman who graduated as an architect from Brawijaya University.
