The island of Ibiza has been the source of inspiration for a unique way of conceiving fashion since 1971, with a philosophy based on respect for the environment and the concept of slow fashion. A hallmark of craftsmanship that has come a long way since more than 50 years ago, when the first hippies took the traditional clothing of the island and fused it with fabrics and styles from around the world. Today, Ibizan fashion has carved a niche for itself by inspiring the best designers and bringing together feminine and masculine proposals, such as those on this catwalk, in which personalized garments and accessories have stood out, with unique touches from each designer.
