Timex India Beach Fashion Week (IBFW) 2025 concluded its milestone 11th edition with a spectacular showcase of resort and beach fashion at the Hilton Goa Resort. Over two dynamic days, Asia’s premier destination for resort wear once again pushed creative and cultural boundaries — spotlighting top designers, emerging labels, innovative brand collaborations, and a forward-looking fashion ecosystem.
The runway came alive with diverse styles and unforgettable moments. Abhishek Sharma’s grand finale, presented by Timex India, stole the show with “Analog Life” — a tribute to elegance and the passage of time, brought to life by a sculptural installation of 1000 Timex watches and model Prathamesh Maulingkar as the showstopper. Live music by Cyrus Rodrigues and his Coastal Collective added an immersive energy that defined the spirit of analog living in a digital world.
Campus Shoes joined forces with label EESUM and youth icon Srishti Kaur for “The Pulse of Youth” collection, powered by a high-voltage runway presence from actor Fatima Sana Shaikh. Rooted in the brand’s ethos of movement and self-expression, the showcase celebrated individuality and energy through vibrant athleisure, redefining footwear as both statement and comfort.
The collaboration between grooming brand Gatsby and menswear label Toffle brought a bold, modern twist to men’s streetwear. Led by Kunal Thakur, the collection celebrated precision, movement, and effortless confidence — with style expressed not just in appearance, but in attitude.
Other standout designers included Bhawna Rao with her glittering “Night Cocktail” line featuring Mukti Mohan; Asmita Marwa, who infused mindful, sustainable design into luxurious silhouettes; and Pria Kataaria Puri, whose unapologetically glamorous “Resort Luxe” line embodied global jet-set energy. MANACA Streetwear, REANA, Samia Khan, Sakshi Bindra by Aerocidade, Mia Magell, KIINARA, Kamakhya, NoorGhar and many others rounded out a lineup that was vibrant, experimental, and globally resonant.
Beyond the runway, IBFW 2025 continued to champion fashion as a platform for dialogue and progress. The Future Fashion Conclave, powered by Dive Collective and led by Dr. Archana Bhatnagar, hosted a compelling panel that examined the role of design in shaping sustainable, inclusive futures for fashion in India.
Founder & CEO Pallav Ojha described the event as more than a fashion week — a cultural hub of design innovation, storytelling, and industry evolution. Neha Asthana, Co-Founder, echoed the sentiment, highlighting the craft-meets-culture narrative that IBFW has successfully nurtured for over a decade.
Timex India’s Managing Director Deepak Chhabra added that the partnership brought to life the watchmaker’s belief in timeless design and meaningful collaborations — blending heritage with a modern lens.
From design showcases to live music, thought leadership to trendsetting fashion, IBFW 2025 brought together the best of India’s resort fashion industry in one stunning celebration. As the sun set on its 11th edition, India Beach Fashion Week reaffirmed its status not just as a showcase — but as a movement in the global fashion conversation.
