Spain fashion is an integral part of the culture Spain.Be it the formal suits and elegantly cut tuxedos or be it the slightly unconventional and experimental rainproof ponchos, balloon silhouettes and the fashionable checked and striped sweaters, Spanish men have a plethora of options when it comes to smart dressing. Women too, need not be disappointed. They can collect a haute-couture of some very stylish clothes in bold and dashing prints that are well cut with fine lines and silhouettes that accentuate the figure. Besides sleek jewelry, elegant footwear and accessories are also available aplenty in the country.
The Spanish Health Ministry however has mandated that all Spanish clotheswear brands ranging from Zara, Mango, Inditex, Cortefiel and El Corte Inglés maintain uniformity when it comes to defining the clothing sizes of the women. The widely varying sizes tend to result in extreme depression and some figure conscious women and young teenagers take to crash dieting. Thus health disorders and the strong possibility of suffering from anorexia bulimia has prompted the health officials to undertake this measure.
Some of the leading Spanish fashion designers who have revolutionized the international fashion industry include:
- Amaya Arzuaga

- Fernando Sánchez
- Cristobal Balenciaga
