Hollywood turns up the color with Etnia Barcelona
There are launch events, and then there’s what Etnia Barcelona just pulled off.
With a bold nod to both Mediterranean heritage and modern glam, the independent eyewear brand unveiled its latest showstopper — the IBIZA VOL 5 collection — during an exclusive summer kickoff at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel, hosted by non other than celebrity styling duo Chloe & Chenelle Delgadillo.
The night was everything you’d expect from a brand that lives for creative freedom and fearless color. The theme? “Iconic Frames for Hollywood Icons.” And that’s exactly what the evening delivered.
Iconic names meet iconic frames
More than 70 tastemakers from L.A.’s vibrant creative scene gathered under the palms — stylists, influencers, and fashion journalists — to explore the IBIZA VOL 5 collection. Among the A-list crowd were Colombian actress Sasha Calle, star stylist Jessica Paster, fashion insider Marc Eram, and red-carpet regulars like Yoko Sakakura and Janelle Miller.
The IBIZA VOL 5 collection radiated center stage, with its signature stripes, bold silhouettes, and unapologetic color palette. It felt right at home against the backdrop of the Beverly Hills Hotel — the pink facade, lush gardens, and golden California light echoing the vibrant summer energy of the designs.
Stripes, sunsets, and summer champagne
As the sun set over Beverly Hills, the mood turned golden. Guests sipped cocktails, mingled poolside, and swayed to tracks by DJ Queen, whose setlist added a carefree, celebratory rhythm to the evening. The climax came as Chloe and Chenelle raised a bottle of champagne in a toast to summer — a fitting gesture to launch the season with Etnia’s signature vibrance.
The independent eyewear brand has once again proved that it sets the tone for bold self-expression with every collection. The IBIZA VOL 5 collection is more than just summer-ready eyewear; it’s a sun-drenched attitude.
