Thisis not to say, though, that Spanish fashion is the same as U.S. fashion. While there are many similarities between us and the Spaniards when it comes to clothing and style, there are several differences.
But, what perplexes me is what they wear instead: wedges. You heard me. The people of Bilbao who must walk up and down hills all day, opt for wedges as their go-to summer shoe. Not all of them are crazy six inch heels, but I have stared incredulously at women wearing anything higher than two inches.
Another difference that has stuck out to me is the definition of casual wear, which ties into the misconception that people in Europe dressed well 24/7. Before I got to Spain, I honestly was expecting to see everyone looking super chic everywhere I went. After all, people had told me that you never really see people wearing sweatpants abroad.
Finally, I have recognized that Spaniards in Bilbao have a greater taste and appreciation for outerwear than anyone else. Everywhere I turn I see people in great coats and jackets. I think this is a testament to the weather here. Since Bilbao is situated in the mountains of northern Spain, the weather changes in a matter of minutes. Residents of this city need to be prepared for it to be chilly and rainy in the morning and then have abundant warm sunshine around lunchtime.

Fashion has historically tended to overlook certain groups or communities, and certainly Disabled people are no strangers to exclusion within the industry. However, in recent years, there has been a growing conversation about Disability inclusion in fashion. Adaptive clothing brands are finally gaining mainstream recognition, and each year we are seeing more Disabled models walking the runways. In 2019, it felt like a breakthrough when Tilting the Lens Founder and CEO Sinad Burke became the first visibly Disabled person to star on the front cover of British Vogue. Yet, Sinad knew that her work was far from over: was this a moment, or the beginning of a movement? More importantly, who would be the next Disabled person on the cover of Vogue?
Tilting the Lens supported the British Vogue editors, marketers, operations, digital and wider teams by providing insights and actionable advice, ensuring that the lived experience of Disabled people and better practices in accessibility were at the heart of this edition.
As such, Tilting the Lens curated the talent and writers for the issue, created a checklist to scout the most accessible studios to produce the shoots, ensured the experience on set was equitable for everyone involved, held a digital accessibility workshop for the wider team, and advised on overall strategy and rollout for the edition. For the first time, British Vogue will also be made available in physical and digital Braille on May 5th, and as an audio format. This commitment will be extended to all future issues of the publication for the next year, in partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).
Speaking of combat boots: While there were plenty of brands to choose from in a variety of price ranges, Dr. Martens was the first choice of 1990s fashionistas, with their signature yellow-threaded soles being somewhat of a status symbol. High-top or low-top, black or brown, worn with a girly dress or destroyed jeans, Doc Martens could be paired with any outfit.

And, finally we are enthused to announce that the Martha Graham Dance Company is one of The Dance Enthusiast's esteemed guests for our inaugural Enthusiastic Event! on November 12th. Dance & Fashion is The Dance Enthusiast's theme for our event and for much of our coverage this Fall into early Winter dance season.
In keeping with our theme, The Dance Enthusiast has asked some of the Martha Graham Dance Company members, Principal dancer, Lloyd Knight; Soloist, Mariya Dashkina Maddux; and Dancers, Natasha Diamond-Walker and Ying Xin, to share their thoughts on their relationship to fashion, both on- and off-stage while on tour:
Lloyd: I'm a bit crazy when packing! I love to have options, especially when it comes to dance clothes. First off, I always carry a reception outfit just in case we have a post-show shindig or even a post-show discussion. I will make my packing choices depending on what season we're in and where we're traveling. Of course, I always bring different options for dance clothes; I like to choose my dance clothes the morning of, depending on my mood.
Mariya: My favorite dress outfit would have to be gala dresses. One of my most adored pieces that I am honored to have was made for me by Maurizio Nardi who, besides being an amazing designer, has also performed with the company for many years as a principal dancer. The dress is made of various colors of silk chiffon, it flows beautifully and has an ethereal quality to it. It is gorgeous and I can't wait to wear it again.
