Two Decades of Fashion, Culture and Creative Exchange Converge in A Milestone Celebration

Jakarta, September 2026 — Twenty years of Senayan City is a story built not only on time, but on encounters, collaborations, creative exchange and connections. Marking the milestone, the Jakarta destination presents Essence & Presence, The Passage of Presence, and the 20th edition of Fashion Nation: The Icon Edit—three expressions of a journey that continues to evolve.

At the centre is Essence & Presence, a limited-edition coffee table book documenting two decades through the voices and contributions of designers, tenants, creative partners, media and collaborators. More than a retrospective, it acknowledges the creative relationships that have shaped Senayan City.

That narrative takes physical form in The Passage of Presence, an abstract installation on the Ground Floor inspired by the number 20. Its sculptural composition reflects movement, transformation and the passage of time.

“Twenty years is a milestone built through countless people, stories, relationships and collaborations. With Essence & Presence, we celebrate and honour those who have shaped Senayan City. This anniversary is not only about reflecting on the journey so far, but also embracing the spirit that will carry us into the next chapter,” said Halina, Leasing & Marketing Communications Director of Senayan City.

THE ICON EDIT
Running from 18–26 September, Fashion Nation 20th Edition: The Icon Edit brings together established designers, emerging talents and creative institutions across a series of fashion presentations and collaborations.

Mel Ahyar Archipelago

The opening The Era Runways features Mel Ahyar Archipelago and TOTON. Mel Ahyar’s Tanö Niha translates the cultural heritage of Nias island into contemporary couture, drawing from its architecture, ceremonial dress and traditional textiles. TOTON presents TEMPAAN KALA, a continuation of KALA, developed with JEUMPA and defined by floral artistry and predominantly hand-crafted techniques.

FASHION WITH PURPOSE
The collaboration with the Indonesian Fashion Designers Council (IFDC) adds another dimension through GAYA, an exhibition exploring Indonesian identity and creative expression.

TOTON

Its new Draft pop-up introduces white shirts designed by IFDC members in collaboration with Cotton USA, with sales proceeds directed to communities affected by the earthquake in East Nusa Tenggara—turning fashion into a vehicle for collective action.

Ultimately, Senayan City’s 20th anniversary is less about looking back, but as a reflection on the evolving relationship between fashion, culture, creativity and community.
