Bali is no longer just about beaches, yoga, and sunsets. This year, the island once again asserts itself as a global creative hub through Bali Fashion Parade (BFP) 2025, one of Indonesia’s biggest fashion events set to captivate the world.
Now in its 4th edition, BFP 2025 feels different—not only in scale, but also with full support from the Provincial Government of Bali through Dekranasda Bali Province. This backing is a clear commitment to elevate local fashion, empower creative MSMEs, and position Bali as a world-class fashion hub.
BFP 2025 will unfold over two days at two distinctive locations:
• August 31, 2025 – TS Suites Seminyak, a stylish 5-star hotel bringing an urban modern vibe;
• September 1, 2025 – Jaya Sabha, the Governor’s official residence, adding historical and prestigious value to the fashion parade.
This year’s lineup features 25 designers and brands from Bali, Jakarta, and abroad, showcasing around 300 looks on the runway, presented by 150 models ranging from children and teens to professional adults.
Beyond the dazzling runway, BFP 2025 carries a bold mission: “Cultural Revival.” The theme reinterprets Indonesia’s rich heritage through the lens of contemporary fashion.
“Fashion is not only about beautiful garments, but about stories, identity, and cultural values we bring to the global stage,” said Yongki Perdana, Owner of YMM and Director of PT Bali Anugrah Mega Gemilang, the organizer behind the event.
This vision is embodied through:
• Reviving Heritage – showcasing traditional textiles, ethnic motifs, and artisanal crafts with a modern twist;
• Tradition Meets Innovation – reimagining batik in international silhouettes, pairing songket with contemporary cuts;
• Local Identity on the Global Stage – positioning Bali as a key player in the global fashion industry;
• Education & Legacy – inspiring the younger generation to understand the meaning behind each creation, ensuring culture lives beyond seasonal trends.
The journey to BFP 2025 has been buzzing with excitement from the BFP Model Icon Selection in June, the Online Model Search 2025 announced in August, to the official press conference on August 19 at TS Suites Seminyak attended by dozens of media outlets and fashion enthusiasts.
With strong government support and industry collaboration, Bali Fashion Parade is no longer just an annual fashion celebration. It is a statement: Bali is ready to claim its place as a global fashion capital.
“This is a space for designers and models to express their creativity to the fullest. More importantly, we want Bali to be remembered not just as a tourist destination, but as a global fashion icon,” added Yongki Perdana. TS-01
