Sustainability
Fashion has become one of the biggest influencers of our social activity. It allows us to wear our emotions. But somehow down the line, it has become one of the largest contributors to pollution of our time. Our appetite for fast fashion has grown at an alarming rate and with Ibiza now being one of the biggest influencer destinations it provides a hotspot for brands trending the next forecast for your holiday collection.
With the essential tourism market potentially being one of the biggest threats to the islands eco system, we took it upon ourselves to focus on a luxury made-to-measure service available online, working with authentic global designers, fashion graduates, and fully established brands using only biodegradable, ocean recycled and organic fabrics.
Making a difference
Ibiza fashion festival has been actively supportive in driving awareness to environmental movements and projects on the island over the course of 10 years. We are proud to be a part of a strong new wave which is taking place to preserve the ecological system in Ibiza after so many years of heavy traffic due to tourism.
By working with sustainable elite partnerships, we have elevated our position and have recognised credibility. Our focus is eliminating single use plastics within our swimwear collections and becoming a 4 star, recognised plastic free event was a turning point for us.
By working with recognised environmental organisations, B Corp partners and certified sponsors offering authenticity for designers while working closely with local boutiques on the island, we are closer to making a difference to the fashion industry and hospitality with fantastic long lasting collaborations.
Every live event donates proceeds to beach cleans in Ibiza and we are looking forward to working on other projects such as :
The launch of IFF Fashion Graduate Program.
Launch of Bimonthly Podcast with guest speakers and big names in the fashion industry to get under the skin of sustainability in the fashion industry and lifestyle brands.
