Since 2015, Ibiza Fashion Festival has been a celebration of sustainable fashion on the White Isle of Ibiza. This year, the charity fashion event raised awareness and donations for One Pure Sea, featuring luxury sustainable and eco-friendly beachwear, resort wear, fashion, footwear, jewellery, and accessories from a selection of international brands.
The fashion show event was held on the evening of Thursday 4th July 2024 under the warm Ibiza sunshine, attended by over 200 guests at 528 Ibiza, Ibiza’s newest event destination. 528 Ibiza offers multiple indoor and outdoor spaces inspired by the natural beauty and positive energy of the island. Following the showcase event, a Beach Clean event took place at 3 pm on 5th July at Cala Tarida Beach, sponsored by Cotton Ibiza in collaboration with One Pure Sea. Donations can be made here.
Organised by fashion industry veteran Karen Windle, the event aims to raise awareness of socially and environmentally responsible fashion and supports One Pure Sea, a charity founded by Lisa Good dedicated to environmental preservation in Ibiza. Ibiza Fashion Festival is the only completely sustainable fashion event held on the island.
Headlining the 2024 fashion show was the celebrity-favourite luxury beach label NAIA Beach from the UK, created by British TV personality Tess Daly and Gayle Lawton. The brand made its European catwalk debut with its current SS24 and a preview of the AW24 Cruise collection, set to launch later this year.

Ibiza Fashion Festival organiser, Karen Windle, explains: “Ibiza Fashion Festival’s primary aim is to highlight Ibiza’s commitment to sustainable fashion on a global platform and to support the preservation of our beloved island. Given Ibiza’s high profile, we’re in a unique position that we can influence trends and lead by example for other destinations. Fast fashion is contributing massively to carbon emissions and ocean pollution which is why we’re dedicated to raising awareness of responsible fashion consumption.”
“We chose the hottest day of the year for IFF at 528 on the gorgeous roof terrace overlooking the hills of Benimusa Park. The fashion was overwhelmingly beautiful and creative. I feel it is our best yet, we had all levels of sustainable fashion on the runway with beautiful collaborations which are breaking the rules of fashion runway. The models from Satory models, Deva Models, 8 Management, and some freelancers looked fantastic and they had the best time.”
