IBIZA FASHION EDITORIAL-IBIZA STYLE

 In the late '30s, Ibiza received its first wave of intellectuals and artists who were fleeing from a grey and tense inter-war Europe. Many travellers came to the island, in search of a new horizon for their lives. here they found a paradise where they could live in harmony with the local island people..
The bohemian circles of the Paris of first era may well been the main promoters of the good atmosphere and the freedom that people lived and breathed in Ibiza; this might explain why the majority of the island's first visitors were French. That atmosphere of freedom- unheard of in the rest of Spain-, the geographic location, the climate, the sea, the untouched land and low cost of living made Ibiza and Fomenter an ideal refuge for arists and bohemians, and later on, for the hippies. In '60s and '70s, the pellets roamed freely through the small towns in the north of the island, mixing in with the local people, who were surprised by their way of dressing, their long hair, their music and their way of viewing and living life. For the hippies, Ibiza was a paradise where they were not judged for having a philosophy on life that diverged from traditional minutes. The way they dressed was also their means of expression, their way of showing the rest of the world their independence and their rejection of the establishment and the official norms of the era. Since then, Ibiza has been and continues to be like a muse for an artist, where trendsetters, designers and fashion lovers find their source of inspiration.

EIVISSA-IBIZA

Every time I came to Ibiza I wonder how it is possible that around such a beautiful, ancient and evocative center like Eivissa, they have built huge and horrible buildings that have ruined this amazing landscape. Eivissa is divided into two main parts: the old town, called the Dalt Vila (literally "Upper Town"), located on a little mountain by the sea, and the (horrible) modern part, called the Eixample ("extension").
In the old town there are a large selection of small boutiques, high fashion stores, small and charming restaurants, a great selection of bars and, of course, nightclubs that have made of the island's nightlife the most attractive part for tourism.
