India Beach Fashion Week (IBFW) 2025, presented by Timex, is set to make waves from October 9–11 at the Hilton Goa Resort. Now in its 11th season, IBFW 2025 continues to position Goa not just as a beach destination but as a thriving hub for lifestyle tourism, fashion innovation, and retail experiences.
At the heart of the event is Pallav Ojhaa, CEO and Co-Founder of IBFW, who hails from Assonora, Goa. What started as a local dream has grown into Asia’s largest resort fashion platform. “Growing up in Assonora, I never imagined that one day we could take our creativity, design, and culture to the world stage,” said Pallav. Through his COMO Designers Collective, he’s curated over 100 designers, connecting runway innovation with real-world retail and transforming Goa into a lifestyle destination with global resonance.
This year’s theme, “Where Resort Meets Bold Innovation,” embraces conscious design, craftsmanship, and storytelling for the digital age. From sustainable collections to immersive installations, the festival weaves together fashion and purpose with creativity and commerce.
Neha Asthana, Co-Founder of IBFW, emphasizes the festival’s deeper purpose: “This season highlights international expression, conscious design, and collaboration — all rooted in our home state. Resort fashion becomes a lifestyle, a business, and a cultural experience.”
As Title Sponsor, Timex strengthens its foothold in fashion, aligning its timeless ethos of “Analog Life – Make Time Yours” with the values of self-expression and mindful living. Deepak Chhabra, Managing Director of Timex Group India Limited, shares, “We are proud to be back with IBFW. Our brand and this platform both celebrate individuality and bold creativity — we’re not just keeping time, we’re defining moments.”
The designer lineup boasts renowned names such as Priya Kataria Puri, Bhawna Rao, Manaca Streetwear, Reana, Mia Magell, Asmita Marwa, and Abhishek Sharma, who will headline the exclusive Timex Grand Finale. The runway will also sparkle with celebrity appearances from Fatima Sana Shaikh, Mukti Mohan, Kashika Kapoor, Arissa Khan, and more.
Attendees can expect over 30 fashion showcases, The Pop-Expo marketplace, and the Dive Fashion Conclave — a thought leadership platform addressing sustainability, fashion’s future, and retail evolution. With lifestyle integrations from Campus Shoes, Dewars, 1664 Blanc, COMO Designers Collective, and SMA Hair & Makeup Academy, IBFW 2025 offers a multisensory experience that blends design, destination, and dialogue.
As the countdown begins, India Beach Fashion Week 2025 stands as a testament to Goa’s evolving identity — where beaches meet boldness, and fashion meets purpose.
