Spanish athletes will wear fashion from Spain at public events and appearances when representing their respective Federations following an agreement reached between the Asociación Creadores de Moda de España (ACME) and the Higher Sports Council (CSD).
Modesto Lomba, president of ACME, and Miguel Cardenal, president of CSD are extremely satisfied with this agreement symbolizing the association of two important sectors of Spanish society, which united will contribute to build and place value for Brand Spain.
Ona Carbonell, winner of seven medals during the latest World Swimming Championship in Barcelona, has already dressed a Devota & Lomba design during the reception of the Real Orden del Mérito Deportivo.
The basketball girls, winners this season of the World and European Championships in all the categories, commence this agreement during the visit that will be made to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, where they will receive a tribute for the achievement of these awards in the presence of the Minister, José Ignacio Wert. Furthermore the Spanish athletes awarded the Premios Nacionales del Deporte, which will be presented on December 2nd at the Palace of El Pardo, will attend the event wearing designs by the creators of the Association.
This agreement is in addition to the stake that various fashion brands have already made upon Spanish sports, amongst them, Pedro del Hierro, member of ACME. The brand of the Cortefiel Group clothes the Spanish football team, world champion in 2010 in South Africa.[:]
