Fashion designers from Ibiza, moda Adlib, estilo ibicenco.


Fashion is about dreaming and making other people dream. "Donatella Versace".

Moda Ibicenca, design by Charo Ruiz.

Ibiza is not only internationally well known for its wonderful beaches, stunning sunsets, pleasant weather, its lifestyle... Ibiza is also well known for its fashion style, whose name is called Adlib. 
La moda Adlib was born in Ibiza in the 70s, with influences of the hippie moviment and inspired by the dresses of the Pitusas islands, a native style that cautivated to the newcomers.

The fashion designers from Ibiza have developped over time an own style, whose main features are : the use of ligther fabrics, laces, ruffles for blouses, dresses, and wedding gowns; the predominant color of this Adlib fashion is white.

Every fashion designer has her/his own wonderful creations, ideal to wear specially in summer and in different situations, in the street, on the beach,  in a boat, in a party, at a wedding, at also in the red carpet, as some very well known actresses from Spain and Europe wear dresses of fashion designers from Ibiza when they collect a film award.

The Adlib fashion is an style, which was thought for not suffering the high temperatures, and enjoy the warmth with elegance. This kind of fashion today is present in more than twenty countries.

It was a nice afternoon of spring,  when we could see  by chance a wonderful Ibiza fashion parade, and I was amazed for the elegance, beauty and freshness of the creations.

Next day was a sunny and a windy day, when I was decending from Dalt Vila through the steep  and fortified streets; at the same time, two italian women amounted the steep and narrow streets, one of them wore a long, floaty and red dress of Adlib fashion; when  they crossed my path, I noticed  that they were so tired, I looked at this long, floaty and red dress, which seemed to give to the woman,  the enough strength to continue on her way, and at the same time the elegance that she needed to express her determination.

I began to think that it can be a good idea to write about "La moda Adlib".
Later in the city, when we  visited the fashion boutiques and stores of moda Adlib, I felt glad to notice the friendliness of the shops' owners, and the beauty of the designs and dresses. So I  finally decided to write my post about the fashion designers from Ibiza.

Elegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, with lack of depth. This is a serious mistake; human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture, becasue this word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony. "Paulo Coelho".



Pepa Bonett avoids the shrillness and dresses with too many ornaments to focus directly, on a well cut dresses.

Fashion is architecture : It is a matter of proportions. "Coco Chanel".

Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person. 
"Zaha Hadid".


Every year takes place in Ibiza "La Pasarela Adlib", where the young fashion designers from de Balearic Islands, and other most recognized designers of this fashion style in the Island show their new creations.
Ibiza also participates in "La Pasarela España", there, well known fashion designers such as : Piluca Bayarri, Luis Ferrer, Ibimoda, Tony Bonet... and the prestigious Charo Ruiz also show their new dresses in this event, which is specialized in bridal and ceremonial fashion. 

Charo Ruiz designs and manufactures very beautiful, and sophisticated dresses, haute couture and bridal dresses, which wear well known actresses, celebrities and in important events such as "Los Premios Goya", or for exemple the actress Ruby O.Fee at the German Film Award "Lola" in Berlin, wore a gorgeous Crystal dress designed by Charo Ruiz Ibiza. Her dresses are sold in some of the most prestigious fashion boutiques in Spain, Japan, Mexico, Beirut ... and in well known departament stores such as Harrods in London.


Since I was young, the artistic expression embodies has inspired me. It's a way to communicate oneself.  "Maria Sharapova".
