The firm from Triana Carmen Acedo inaugurated the second day of 'Holea y Olé' with its 'Callejuela de la O' collection and its proposals full of the mythical colors of its creations. Black, bottle green, gray and burgundy gave way to polka dots and flowers in a parade where baskets and patchwork style are adorned with appliqués and lace. Linen, chantilly and bobbin lace help to enhance, better than ever, the beauty of flamenco women according to Acedo.
Pepa Garrido returned "more alive than ever", as Carmen Cañaveral, creative director of the firm, pointed out with her collection 'Viva la Pepa'. Her proposals for 2020 are full of personality and are based on suits made with light and pleated fabrics such as crepes and chiffon.
As for him, José Manuel Valencia landed in Holea with his 'Muy yo' collection made up of several clearly differentiated lines. One guided by white, another with a wide range of pastel colors and another with black as the clear protagonist. The large sleeves, lace and appliqués stand out in the proposals of this designer from Rociana, and in contrast between narrow suits with others that are more comfortable and loose.
The designer Rocío Márquez presented a parade full of joy, strength and lots of color with her 'Aquarela' collection with angel skin suits, crêpes and lycra fabrics. Her flamenco dresses show off high waists, XXL sleeves, volume and as many polka dots as plain dresses and other prints.
Paco Prieto presented 'Silencio', an intimate collection with innovative work in the mix of colors and textures, but which does not abandon the base of classic patterns from the Huelva firm. In the creative solitude of his workshop, "this collection has emerged as a heartfelt tribute to those anonymous seamstresses who, with their good work, preserved the unique beauty of the Andalusian flamenco dress in times of scarcity", commented the designer himself.
Flamenca Pol Núñez, coinciding with his 25th anniversary in the world of fashion, presented a compilation collection of various stages. Thus, under the name 'Solo son 25' they proposed polka dots, flowers or cross-stitch shawls. A lot of color and a lot of joy for a parade where the costumes were once again eclectic, full of bright tones and with asymmetrical cuts.
True to its appointment, the emblematic Foronda embroidery house also endorsed its commitment to the classic manila shawl, a traditional garment from our land that, in addition to being deeply rooted and giving elegance to flamenco, has been able to adapt to the times to be a fashion and current accessory in women's styling for the most everyday events.
And closing the day, 'El Ajolí' presented 'Rincones del alma'. A true exercise in introspection was carried out by the firm of Pepe Jiménez with a collection that wasted a lot of color on the catwalk, with a predominance of pastel tones, with lavender and lime standing out. In the textures, vaporous chiffon fabrics, embroidered tulle, very sweet floral prints and polka dots, the house's own design. The firm from Huelva is also betting in 2020 on the comfort of high waists "because we want women to dance and enjoy themselves freely, without ties", as Pepe Jiménez indicated. As for accessories, 'El Ajolí' offered special prominence to leather in different shades and with rivets in some cases.
