Isla Bonita Fashion
The Isla Bonita Moda Talent Awards 'Made In La Palma' were born in 2024 as part of the new strategic plan of action of the island programme Isla Bonita Moda, promoted by the Cabildo Insular de La Palma through Sodepal. These awards aim to promote 'Moda Made in La Palma' and are an open invitation to all professionals in the creative field of fashion on the island, offering them a platform to celebrate local talent. They are also a unique opportunity for the future of the sector on the island, opening new doors for its development and projection.
With the aim of building a strong fashion community on the island, these awards encourage the training and development of local talent. They boost the creation of creative synergies and open up new opportunities for the growth of the local economy, employment and investment in the fashion sector on La Palma. They also reinforce the presence and participation of our talents on the island, while boosting their projection in an increasingly competitive global market.
In this new edition, the Isla Bonita Moda Awards introduce some new features, expanding the number of categories and, for the first time, presenting the 'Sustainable Fashion Project' award, with the aim of promoting creativity and environmental awareness in the sector in parallel. This category will be aimed at fashion brands from La Palma associated with the Isla Bonita Moda project, as well as those that are part of friendly projects such as Gran Canaria Moda Cálida, Lanzarote Moda, Tenerife Moda and Adlib Ibiza, who will also have the opportunity to participate in this initiative.
The categories in which talents will be able to participate in this edition include:
- Fashion Brand
- Photography and Catwalk Model
