Adlib Fashion: The History
The history of Adlib Fashion intertwines with the most recent one of the island, let’s say starting in the 70’s until now. It all started when the hippies arrived on the island and with the founding of the Ibiza Fashion Week (the first edition was in 1971).
This was the first event organized on the island, that attracted tourists and visitors from every corner of the world. The handcrafted materials, its delicacy, and its quality, made the rest.
This new wave of opportunity and multiculturalism that was pervading the island, changed into something tangible, which is Adlib Fashion. The new logo born in Ibiza started inspiring thousands of young people, designers and stylists, all united by the same principal: liberty.
A major role in giving birth and helping the logo become more popular was given by the Yugoslavian princess Smilja Mihailovitch , the ambassador in the world of this new style.
Thanks to her the first craftsman on the island were able to obtain the permits to organize the first historical Adlib Fashion Week. The princess died on 2nd November 1994 in her home in Ibiza.
At present, after 48 years of activity, the logo Adlib Ibiza continues surprising and inspiring thousands of tourists and foreigners that arrive on the Balearic Island.
The philosophy has not changed, the same as indicated by the princess Smilja: “dress as you want, but with style”.
