IN 2024, THE CITY OF MADRID WILL ONCE AGAIN HOST ONE OF ITS MOST BELOVED FESTIVALS: SAN ISIDRO.
We give you all the keys to the most awaited party by all Madrid citizens, with fashion as the main protagonist.
MAKE YOUR ‘CHULAPA’ DRESS AND ‘CHULAPO’ COSTUME
Do you want to make your own chulapa and chulapo dress and costume? The Madrid City Council, in collaboration with the Asociación Creadores de Moda de España (ACME), offers the costume patterns for you to become an authentic chulapo.
The aim is to contribute to the survival of traditional craftsmanship and to promote Spanish fashion.
Encarna Herencias, from the Madrid workshop ‘Con Alma de Costura’, has developed 2 patterns in different sizes: one for the dress and another for the suit, consisting of two pieces, pants and vest.
