SEA Waves presents two flagship programmes. The first, the Wave of Weave Installation,  opened on October 26, 2026, at the National Museum of Indonesia. Remains open to visitors until January 8, 2027, and was initiated by the Ministry of Tourism, the Indonesian Heritage Agency, Negeri Elok, and Jakarta Fashion Week. The installation celebrates shared regional craftsmanship and identity through three highlights:

Traditional Textiles & Weaving: Featuring 20 significant textile pieces from ten Southeast Asian nations, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, the Philippines, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste, highlighting the region's traditions of weaving, trade, and cultural exchange.
2. The Kebaya Showcase: Featuring five curated kebaya sets from Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, celebrating the kebaya as UNESCO-recognised Intangible Cultural Heritage.
3. Gusti Nurul Special Exhibition: An extension of the installation presenting the heritage collection of Gusti Nurul from Mangkunegaran, comprising four kebaya sets, ten historic textiles, and personal accessories and archives.

The second flagship programme, the SEA Fashion Parade, will take place on November 1, 2026, at Pondok Indah Mall 3, Jakarta. It brings together designers from six Southeast Asian countries, namely Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam, for two curated runway shows celebrating contemporary interpretations of regional identity.
