Here is what the F&M community had to say about FASHION & MARKET FORUM 2026:

“Fashion & Market has done a fantastic job bringing together an insightful group of professionals working across fashion, design and adjacent creative industries. The atmosphere was warm, open and genuinely generous. I came away feeling like I’d not only learnt something new, but also met interesting people I’d love to stay connected with.”
—Jariel Ann Tan, Founder, VESSELS

“I loved how intimate the day felt - just a room full of curious people sharing their ideas, research, and things they care deeply about. It was such a sincere exchange of perspectives and a lovely reminder of how much we can learn from one another.”
—Jien Goh, Associate Consulting Director, WGSN (APAC)

“It truly didn’t feel like a first meeting; we felt genuinely at home! Coming from Jakarta with a few thoughts in mind, we left with a new perspective, engaging conversations, and a renewed feeling that perhaps there are more voices out there that could inspire us to create and build more in the future.”
—PEARS Team

“Fashion & Market creates room for discourse that challenges the ways we think about fashion in the region. It brings different voices into conversation, and in doing so opens up better possibilities for how we think about the industry, its cultures and practices.”
—Pit Firdaus Aris, Founder, Studio Vetyver
