Another of our unmissable dates in the flamenco calendar is coming up: the Tío Pepe Jerez Flamenco Catwalk 2023, tribute to Lola Flores. Here we are going to reveal the most outstanding trends and novelties in designs, colours, shapes and accessories that have been seen in this sixteenth edition. Are you ready? Here we go.
Let the fairs and pilgrimages begin!
In the four days that this flamenco fashion showcase par excellence lasts, we have realised that we are really looking forward to the fair and the pilgrimages! The unique setting of González Byass, the tasting of the excellent wines from its cellar, the good atmosphere, the music and the participation of more than 40 designers, including firms, established creators and new artists, could not make us feel any other way.
Although at the presentation parade of this nationally consolidated event, held at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, We had a glimpse of the official catwalk a few days later, and we were very surprised and for the better. The different colour ranges, the classic polka dots, the fabrics and their embroidery... Without a doubt, all the collections are beautiful. From here our congratulations to their creators.
Amparo Maciá, Ángeles Verano, La Giraldilla, Flamenca Delia Pol Núñez, Ernesto Sillero, Pilar Villar, Isabel Vázquez, Rocío Lama, Rocío Martín Degitana, Teressa Ninú Atelier, Nuria Chaparro, Rocío Segovia, Flor de Cerezo and Alejandro Andana, among many others, have not only captivated and will captivate us with their designs, but also the more than 14.According to the organisers, more than 14,000 visitors will be at the show until next Sunday. Like us, they did not want to miss any detail of what we will see from April onwards in the different fairgrounds of our beloved land, Andalusia.
Amparo Maciá, Alba Carrillo and... Jewellery Gordillo!
Although we were delighted to enjoy the fashion shows as spectators, we didn't want to be satisfied with just that. So we collaborated in the fashion show of the collection of Amparo Maciá, Va por ti Lola, which, as is already well known, was attended by the model Alba Carrillo. Both the designer and the model complemented their outfits with high jewellery from Gordillo Jewellery, and how could it be otherwise... they looked great!
As we said above, the creator from Jerez wanted to pay tribute to Lola Flores on the occasion of her 100th birthday and, to do so, she designed a collection that fascinated us for being innovative and in line with current fashion. After seeing the models in the collection, it is clear to us that her dresses could be worn on any occasion, and not just at fairs and pilgrimages.
Maciá commented that for her Lola Flores was movement, an idea that she masterfully fused with the creation of elegant, feminine and daring dresses, while remaining faithful to her way of designing and to her essence. We can attest to this.
All in red for flamenco dresses
The designer showed an elegant and, in our opinion, passionate collection in red, one of the most flamenco colours we think can exist. Composed of eight dresses inspired by the honoree, they were modern, flared designs, in natural silks, with slits, fringes, ruffles, skirts with many layers to make walking comfortable, very tight waists, organdy fabrics... Designs made to give volume and, at the same time, to highlight the feminine silhouette in a more than flattering way.
And finally, our most awaited moment of the Pasarela Flamenca Tío Pepe Jerez arrived, the opening of the Amparo Maciá fashion show. It starred the model Alba Carrillo, who wore a dress that we couldn't have liked more. Although it didn't look like it, it was a one-piece dress. A beautiful design. The red skirt, with five ruffles at the bottom to give cadence and movement, and the black bodice with the classic white polka dots. On the sleeves, small red ruffles. Details in the purest Amparo Maciá style.
This spectacular outfit was complemented to perfection with one of our jewellery favourites: the Clarice earrings in white and yellow gold, with a combination of diamonds and fancy diamonds.
The model also closed Amparo Maciá's fashion show, who by the way, for her black outfit with white polka dots, chose another of our jewellery pieces: the earrings of our Lempicka The Middle collection, in rose gold, mother-of-pearl and aventurine quartz, the ring from the Skyline Metropolitan collection in rose gold and diamonds, and the Skyline Chrysler bracelet in rose gold and diamonds. A real winner.
The closing of the fashion show left no one indifferent. Alba Carrillo paraded and posed with delicacy, elegance and sophistication in one of the dresses we liked the most. A red dress, with fringes, daring, that brought a lot of movement and sensuality to the female figure. And here, again, one of our favourite jewels to go resplendent: the Corallium long earrings, in white gold, diamonds and brilliant-cut diamonds. Olé! A great success.
Undoubtedly, an exceptional fashion show that has left us wanting more. Dresses that are not only to be worn occasionally, but to be enjoyed with our friends and family at the fair or at the pilgrimages. Are you in the mood for albero? We definitely are.
