Description

Fashioning Spain is a cultural history of Spanish fashion in the 20th and 21st centuries, a period of significant social, political, and economic upheaval.

As Spain moved from dictatorship to democracy and, most recently, to the digital age, fashion has experienced seismic shifts.

The chapters in this collection reveal how women empowered themselves through fashion choices, detail Balenciaga’s international stardom, present female photographers challenging gender roles under Franco’s rule, and uncover the politicization of the mantilla.

In the visual culture of Spanish fashion, tradition and modernity coexist and compete, reflecting society’s changing affects. Using a range of case studies and approaches, this collection explores fashion in films, comics from la Movida, Rosalía’s music videos, and both brick-and-mortar and virtual museums.

It demonstrates that fashion is ripe with historical meaning, and offers unique insights into the many facets of Spanish cultural life.
