Spanish Fashion

During your visit to Madrid you should not miss a few stops at the most representative shops of Spanish fashion. Because there's nothing we like more than to brag about being a fashion traveller. Wouldn't you love to be able to answer "on my last visit to Madrid" to those who ask you about your look? 

From Balenciaga and Custo to Desigual and Loewe, Spanish fashion has made a name for itself across the globe, with both its haute couture and prêt-à-porter collections.

However, it’s in the franchise segment that Spain has reached unprecedented milestones, particularly in the case of Inditex Group. Quality for reasonable prices is the formula for Zara, Pull & Bear or Bershka, where men and women of all ages can pick up a bargain.

Las Salesas, Triball and Chueca

Barrio de Las Salesas has a more bohemian feel than Barrio de Salamanca, while Triball and Chueca offer alternative fashion styles, some by young local designers.

The Ailanto store, owned by Bilbao's twin brothers Iñaki and Aitor Muñoz; and the designer Lemoniez's space, while in calle Clavel we can enter one of the three spaces that Madrid designer Eduardo Rivera has in Madrid.

Lander y Urquijo is located at 23 calle Fernando VI, between the districts of Chueca and Chamberí. Visit the studio of the fashion designer, Javier Delafuente (Santa Teresa, 5) and Oteyza (Conde de Xiquena, 11).

Conde Duque and Malasaña

Both Conde Duque and Malasaña are synonymous with made-in-Spain fashion. Here you’ll find only one-of-a-kind, handmade clothes, instead of mass-produced items.

In Conde Duque, peSeta by Laura Martínez makes textile products, including handbags, with fabrics from all over the world. In Calle San Bernardo, discover the fashion designer, Ernesto Naranjo, who is specialised in collections for women.

La Intrusa is located in the barrio de Malasaña, with clothes and accessories created by young talents such as Lady Desedia, La Mouchette, Yono Taola, Santa Mistura, among others.
