Pallav Ojhaa, CEO & Co-Founder, IBFW Showcase, states: “IBFW was the first platform in India to introduce resort fashion as a dedicated category, and today it stands as Asia’s largest stage for this genre. IBFW 2025 is not just a fashion week — it’s a movement that embodies the business of fashion. Through innovation, experiential storytelling, and strong retail synergies with COMO Designers Collective, we are creating a tangible bridge between creativity and commerce. Our mission is to establish IBFW as India’s global fashion voice — on par with Paris, London, and Miami — and to position Goa as the world’s capital for resort fashion, where design, travel, and culture unite seamlessly.”

Timex X IBFW: Where Time Meets Fashion

As Title Sponsors, Timex steps firmly into the fashion and lifestyle diaspora, reinforcing its role as more than just a timekeeping brand — emerging as a cultural tastemaker shaping style, innovation, and self-expression. Timex stands at the intersection of fashion and time, inspiring individuals to live authentically through its philosophy of “Analog Life – Make Time Yours.” In an age driven by digital speed, Timex celebrates the art of slowing down, savouring moments, and embracing time as the ultimate luxury.

Deepak Chhabra, Managing Director, Timex Group India Limited, shares: “Our continued partnership with India Beach Fashion Week grows stronger each year, and we are thrilled to be back for the third time, celebrating yet another edition of fashion, innovation. At Timex, we believe that fashion and watches share the same language of individuality and self-expression. Our association with IBFW is a true reflection of that philosophy, and we are proud to continue providing a platform for fresh talent and bold creativity in the fashion industry.”

Business of Fashion: Retail, Commerce & Collaboration

Beyond the runway, Timex India Beach Fashion Week has become a strategic hub for the Business of Fashion  fostering opportunities for designers, brands, and retailers to connect and grow. This season, IBFW strengthens its partnership with COMO Designers Collective, a pioneering multi-designer retail platform retailing over 100 designers across resort, occasion, and lifestyle fashion. COMO’s retail vision integrates with IBFW to bridge the gap between runway and retail, through curated pop-ups, in-store collaborations, and digital showcases — creating a continuous ecosystem that nurtures both creativity and commerce.

Where Resort Meets Bold Innovation

The theme for IBFW 2025 “Where Resort Meets Bold Innovation” reimagines the future of resort fashion through a lens of sustainability, craftsmanship, and digital-era storytelling. Each showcase, installation, and brand collaboration at Hilton Goa Resort will reflect this theme combining futurism, circular design practices, and immersive experiences that blur the boundaries between art, fashion, and lifestyle.

Neha Asthana, Co-Founder, IBFW Showcase, adds: “This season is about global expression, conscious design, and the power of collaboration. IBFW 2025 reflects the evolution of resort fashion — a blend of sustainability, craftsmanship, and inclusivity. We’re giving a strong voice to emerging designers and international creators who are redefining what resort wear means for the modern traveller. The collaboration between Timex and IBFW creates a powerful platform where every showcase becomes a story — connecting style with purpose, and design with destination.”
