India Beach Fashion Week 2025 – Season 11
Goa, India 6th October ‘25 – The India Beach Fashion Week (IBFW) 2025 presented by Timex returns for its highly anticipated 11th season at the iconic Hilton Goa Resort, from October 09th–11th, 2025, transforming the state from a beach destination into a hub for lifestyle tourism, retail experiences, and design innovation. IBFW celebrates resort fashion where creativity, commerce, and culture converge, positioning the coastal paradise as a destination beyond beaches.
Pallav Ojhaa, CEO & Co-Founder, IBFW Showcase, hails from the small village of Assonora. What began as a local dream has grown into Asia’s largest resort fashion platform, placing the region on the international fashion and lifestyle map. He further said, “Growing up in Assonora, I never imagined that one day we could take our creativity, design, and culture to the world stage,” says Pallav. “IBFW and COMO Designers Collective are proof that talent from our home state can compete internationally. We are creating a bridge between runway and retail, giving a tangible platform to emerging designers while turning the state into a destination for lifestyle and retail tourism. IBFW 2025 shows that this region is more than beaches — it’s about creativity, innovation, culture, and commerce.”
Through COMO Designers Collective, Pallav curates over 100 designers across resort, occasion, and lifestyle fashion, creating a continuous ecosystem connecting creativity with commerce, while positioning the destination as a world-class lifestyle hub.
The theme for IBFW 2025 “Where Resort Meets Bold Innovation” — reflects sustainability, craftsmanship, and digital-era storytelling. Each showcase, installation, and collaboration at Hilton Goa Resort combines futurism, circular design practices, and immersive experiences.
Neha Asthana, Co-Founder, IBFW Showcase, adds: “This season highlights international expression, conscious design, and collaboration — all rooted in our home state. Through IBFW, resort fashion becomes a lifestyle, a business, and a cultural experience connecting style with purpose and design with destination”
