Bali and Bali Fashion Week
In 2005, Bali has been awarded as the most favored island in the world. It has also been known for its rich culture, well-preserved tradition, as well as its highly creative & talented people. International buyers take the opportunity to source creative-related goods produced in Indonesia through Bali, no wonder, Bali is the selected location for such a culturally rich fashion week.
Bali Fashion Week is an annual trade event held by Moda Bali Foundation that combines fashion, art and culture. The event is used as a platform for buyers and sellers to meet and discuss potential business relationships.
