Jember Fashion Carnaval 2018: Light of Asia
The spectacular Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC) extravaganza will again take center stage this year when it rolls out the carpet in the charming city of Jember in East Java Province, from 9th to 13th August 2017. The highlight of Jember Fashion Carnaval is the Grand Carnaval - a costume parade on a 3.6-kilometre stage with a theme that is different every year. In 2018 edition, the event will adopt “Cahaya Asia” (EN: Light of Asia) as its theme, because Asian Games will be held in Indonesia in the same year.
The Jember Carnival was the first that started the trend in Indonesia, parading unbelievably spectacular modern costumes that are rooted in the multiple traditions and cultures across the Indonesian islands. This most unique, fantastic, and spectacular carnival is attended by hundreds of thousands of visitors, thousands of media, photographers, and fashion observers. They all witness the birth of the nation’s children’s works that are capable of creating creative world-class masterpiece.
Among notable achievements in costumes designed by JFC are: Best National Costume Miss Supranational 2014 in Warsaw, Poland; Best National Costume Miss Universe 2014 in Florida, USA; Best National Costume Miss Supranational 2015 in Warsaw, Poland; Best National Costume Miss Grand International 2016 in Las Vegas USA; and Best National Costume Miss Tourism International 2016 in Malaysia.
