Camper Celebrates 50 Years in Mallorca
by Adriano Batista
Last week, I stepped off the plane in Mallorca to warm island air and the quiet hum of anticipation. Camper had brought together artists, musicians, actors, and designers—people who, in different ways, reflect the brand’s unpretentious creativity—to mark 50 years of making shoes.

Among those who attended were actors Hugo Arbués, Itzan Escamilla, Clara Sans, Iván Pellicer, and Carlos González, as well as musicians like Guitarricadelafuente, Mushkaa, and Martín Vallhonrat (of Carolina Durante). Stylist Carla Paucar and model Ali Guty also joined, alongside other local and international creatives.

Over three days, we moved through spaces that told the story of Camper. The first stop was their headquarters, where shelves of archived shoes traced decades of design. We also stepped inside the brand’s workshop, recently redesigned by British designer Jasper Morrison, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience.

The celebration peaked with a dinner at Camper’s former factory, attended by CEO Miquel Fluxà, creative director Achilles Ion Gabriel, and a mix of Mallorca’s artistic talents. Actress Rossy de Palma, designer Jaime Hayón, and artist Marta Armengol were there, along with jewelry designer Alex Sobrón and artist Ela Fidalgo.
The night didn’t end there—after dinner, the party moved to Camper’s current offices, where DJs Soffmm and Toccororo kept the music going until late. It was a fitting close to a trip that honored Camper’s roots while looking ahead to what’s next.
Check out the photos from the event below:























By the end, the point was clear: Camper’s legacy isn’t just about footwear. It’s about a way of working, an insistence on craft, and a refusal to separate the functional from the beautiful. And for 50 years, that’s been enough.
