From whole festivals to charity shows, swimwear runways, themed fiestas and fashion-focused markets, if you’re wanting to discover a whole other realm of fashion, Ibiza is the place to do it.

Adlib
Though this event has already been and gone, on Saturday 8 June, the breathtaking passage of Vara del Rey in Ibiza Town was transformed into the ultimate catwalk setting, as an array of models presented the creations of 14 designers of the Adlib Ibiza collective.
Celebrating its 53rd (!!!) anniversary this year, Adlib continues to raise the national and international profile of the island’s fashion, featuring the work of renowned and upcoming designers.
Characterised by natural fabrics like linen and cotton, plus handcrafted details like embroidery and lace - all in immaculate white, if you’ve been to Ibiza before, you’ll know this look is the signature style, synonymous with the island.
Keep an eye out for more Adlib events next summer as this really is the ultimate showcase of Ibiza’s seasonal trends.
While these events will leave you feeling inspired and invigorated, you don't have to wait to attend them to discover the island's diverse fashion scene. Everywhere you turn, from how locals dress, to artisan markets and even interior design, you'll find sources of style inspiration in every nook and cranny on Ibiza.
