06/10/08: El Ayoun Closing Party
Is anyone else sick and tired of having to wear wristbands that declare their right to party in Ibiza or is it just Miss W? I mean, I totally see the point but quite often the bold colours really just don’t match my outfit and the sharp plastic edges tend to snag my clothes. So tonight as I reached the teensy tiny entrance to El Ayoun, I must admit I was totally thrilled at the fact the wristbands were at least slimline and black – totally in keeping with the Rock Chic dress code.
A strictly invite only affair, El Ayoun’s closing is renowned as one of the best parties of the season and after today’s bad news that DC10 had indeed been closed for one year by the authorities, the blow was softened a little for many people upon hearing that tonight’s special guest DJ at El Ayoun would be none other than Circo Loco (and Miss W’s) fave Luciano. Judging by the amount of people milling about outside the venue and trying to talk their way inside, not to mention the crammed dance floor, packed terrace and busy bars, this was a draw card that seemed to turn tonight’s closing party into one of THE events of the century.
With the entire terrace and restaurant cleared of tables, it was clear from the minute I stepped inside that this was set to be one enormous party indeed. We managed to shimmy our way through the heaving dance floor of Privado to check out the swish sushi lounge only to discover that GASP! It had been turned into a super-exclusive VIP area not even Miss W was allowed access to. Humph...

Gypsy Westwood
I love photographing people. There is a profound magic in capturing the true essence of a character - naturally, beautifully and unexpectedly - through the lens of a camera, whether it is a child, family or bride and groom.
This is Gypsy Westwood, born and raised in Ibiza until she was 12, her connection with the island is a quality, she believes, reflected in her photography. We agree...
Gypsy's father, a brilliant photographer, gave Gypsy her first camera (a Nikon F) when she was 14 years old and from that moment on photography was a passion. After moving to the U.K to study fine arts and photography at Middlesex University, she graduated with a B.A and continued in London, where she worked and specialised in fashion and lifestyle photography.
To follow was a year of travel when Gypsy snapped away at the varied and fascinating cultures, faces and landscapes of India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia. This was a time of growth in her profession and also a time during which she realised that Ibiza was her real home and where she wanted to be.
Gypsy returned to the island in 2001 to settle down with her husband and start a family. At the same time she has built a successful career as a freelance photographer with a client list spanning from luxury bars, restaurants, hotels and private interiors to villa companies, architecture and her passions - both portraits and weddings photography...
