Closing Party Fashion Frenzy

The time is upon us, when traditionally, fashionistas of the globe descend feverishly upon the island boutiques with the shopping fervour of Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton rolled into one. Sharpen your handbags ladies, it’s all about knowing where to go!

Island Style at Sal de Ibiza

We heard that Sal de Ibiza’s gorgeous out-of-town outlet on the Ibiza - Santa Eulalia road had a extremely cool range of bohemian style designer wear, many pieces made exquisitely by Ibiza designers. Huge closing party fashion kudos! We popped over yesterday and took a few snaps of some of their current stock on the trusty iPhone. A big thank you to the lovely Esmeralda who stepped in as an impromptu model. Feast your eyes, fashionistas!

As you can see, closing party fashion is flirty, fun, feminine and wonderfully stylish. Think delicate, transparent fabrics, intricate and beautiful neckline details and clean, simple lines that skim all the right bits!

Fuschia pink, kaftan style dress, white dress with gold neck detail and black dress with red and gold side detail by Ibiza designer, Ananya.

White gypsy dress by Ibiza designer Charo Ruiz and cowboy hat crafted by expert Formentera milliner, Anastasia.

Perfect for day-time beach parties are Ananya´s semi-transparent, warm yellow dress with silver neckline detail and the delicate, pale green creation by London designer Shrey. Necklace by Ibiza designer, Ito.

So now you’re going to need some shoes and a bag, right?! For a great selection, a stylish shopping environment with ample parking and lots of exclusive pieces, head to Lisa y Lu’s (link and details below) out-of-town fashion and footwear outlet on the Ibiza - San José road.

TIP: On this note, a word of warning to closing party virgins. The closing party dancefloor can be treacherous after sometimes more than 12 hours of ferral clubbing by perhaps the most dedicated ravers on the planet. There can be a fair amount of debris around, a fact I learned the hard way so please never, ever wear flip-flop style footwear to the closings (unless it is on a beach)!

Footwear Fetishistas at Lisa y Lu

For a delicious range of cool closing party footwear and bags, we loved Lisa & Lu’s spacious, stylish outlet with its red carpet entrance and ample parking. Featuring footwear designs by Italy’s Biondini and Marco Tozzi amongst others, we gave Lisa y Lu a big thumbs up!

Elisabeth Landeloos is your charming proprietor who also designs an exclusive range of stunning silver jewellery. Elisabeth trained in the traditional way, as apprentice to a master goldsmith in a dusty old basement in Belgium. Her creations are delicately beautiful and add a touch of class and originality to any outfit.

We particularly loved the design award winning Reddot Nat-2 system, 3 in 1 beach-slipper, shoe and boot.

Not forgetting that if you happen to be around Ibiza Town, a nip over to Jade Jagger’s hotter than hot coals jewellery and fashion boutique is a must. Located at 10, Plaza del Mercado Viejo, on the second floor above Inkadelic and oozing with seemingly effortless island style, you’ll be glad you did!

Body Beautiful

To get your closing party body ship-shape, gleamingly toned and set to impress, The Stand Up Paddle-surf team based by Nassau Beach Club on Playa den Bossa are offering a fantastic pilates and yoga session ON a paddleboard! Yes, IN the water! Promising to be enormous fun, the session costs just €20 and lasts a one and half hours. It includes basic paddleboard instruction, a pilates/yoga session and an unforgettable experience!

In fact dear readers, there are a whole host of fantastic activities organized around the legendary annual closing parties. For more ideas, check out our guide of ultimate things to do.

See you on the dancefloor, where we shall glide gracefully and stylishly past each other with a knowing smile, looking fabulous (and no, we most certainly will not be wearing the same outfits)!
