Glamorous pictures show outrageous club culture in 1980s Ibiza

Ibiza has long been Europe's 'pleasure island'. Decadence rules, whether you're getting legless in San Antonio, raving at Space, or sipping Krug on a super yacht.
The island has a history of hedonism. It was a haven for liberal and alternative Spaniards during Franco's rule. In the Seventies, it was a key point on the hippy trail. In the Eighties, package holidays, the yacht set and the clubbers arrived.
These photographs, which form part of an ICA exhibition, Ibiza, Moments in Love, were taken by British photographer Derek Ridgers at club Ku in 1984.
