Deborah O’Brien has created an amazing way for you to answer these two existential questions: If not Now When? If not on Ibiza then Where? She invites you to imagine your ultimate fantasy, and then buckle up for a wild ride as Deborah and her team turn your dream into a memorable White Island reality. We are not talking about a mere fancy dress party. L’atelier 303 is a group of entertainment professionals who will make you the shining stars of a high concept photo shoot that will live in your memories forever. Costumes, make-up, hair styling and accessories blend with the special energy of Ibiza to create magic.

Deborah’s inspiration for this unique service comes from her career as a designer of costumes and special “looks” for stage and screen. After getting her degree in costume design from the Arts University in Bournemouth, she immediately jumped into the world of entertainment. It was a fast-paced education on the many aspects that go into creating believable characters on screen. Some of her favourite jobs were with television comedies that were abstract, funny and rather wild. That kind of free spirited creativity touched Deborah on a deeper level, and it’s at the heart of how she began to visualize the creation of L’atelier 303. 

Her visualization became crystal clear when she moved to Ibiza, and saw first-hand that this is the place where ultimate fantasies can (and do) come to life. Take your pick of which analogy you prefer: Sodom & Gomorrah, The Island of the Lotus Eaters, Cloud Nine, Never Never Land for Adults. On Ibiza the boundaries between reverie and reality can become deliciously blurred. There are times when everything falls perfectly into place, and you wish that the feeling could last forever. The team at L’atelier 303 is here to help you create those magic moments - moments when you are all at your best, in a setting that is perfectly designed for you to shine. The inspiration for your experience can come from art, film, literature or your dreams. The artists at L’atelier 303 know how to make any fantasy come true. So how do they do it?

The process begins with each participant having a personal consultation to assess their role and how they want to look. After that the procedure varies depending on what you want to spend, and how much time is available for preparation. With a robust budget and some lead time you can have elaborate costumes and accessories that are made to order. They are yours to keep after the shoot. If time and/or budget are shorter, then costumes and accessories are rented from L’atelier’s incredible collection that has been acquired from entertainment archives all across Europe. In either case, L’atelier’s professionals will be with you for a full day of styling, art direction and photo-shooting. They know all the best places on Ibiza, so will find the perfect locale to bring your theme to life. 

When all is said and done you will receive a beautifully designed and printed book that fully captures your fantastic adventure. Large prints of the best shots can be framed as decorative daily reminders of this unique day. To help you decide if this special experience is for you, we return to our two original questions:

If not now when? This perennial message urges you to seize the day when a great opportunity comes your way.

If not Ibiza then where? Reminds you that Ibiza is the Land of Oz, where you can fly “over the rainbow” to the place where “the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true”.
