PDI-P Hosts Fatmawati Trophy 2026, National Fashion Design Competition

In recognition of her contributions, the government posthumously awarded her the title of National Hero on November 4, 2000.

Meanwhile, the Patron of the Fatmawati Trophy 2026, Nancy Prananda Prabowo, expressed hope that this event would encourage Indonesian designers to promote the fabric of the archipelago, empower local artisans, create economic opportunities, and introduce Indonesia's rich cultural heritage to the world.

"Regardless of the outcome tonight, continue to create and let Indonesian culture be your source of inspiration," Nancy stated.

She added that through the Fatmawati Trophy, the legacy of Fatmawati Soekarno is brought into the creative space of the present generation, serving as a reminder that culture is a significant part of the nation's identity and personality.

Furthermore, a senior Indonesian fashion designer and PDI-P politician noted that this event offers opportunities to regional designers, including talents who have never appeared on the national stage.

Through the selection process, the jury assessed 35 participants from 22 provinces and established ten top finalists.
