At CDP, the theme for October is details, and here is my interpretation of it. The picture is of a torero’s outfit, used and worn, and for sale during the feria.
I’ve always wanted to take a look at these outfits more closely… And now I got a chance. Originally, I imagine, the material of these outfits has been silk, but this one I’m not so sure about. Didn’t touch though, to make sure.
The torero’s use different kinds and coloured outfits. Some are even designed by haute-couture designers, like the Arles-born designer Christian Lacroix, who also takes much of his inspiration from the local bullfight and gipsy culture. The designer of the picture’s outfit I don’t know, tough, neither who I had belonged.
Bullfights and toreros are usually connected with Spain, but they are very important also in South of France (not in the Côte d’Azur, but in the area from Istres near Marseille to Bayonne in French Basque). Nîmes is said to be the most Spanish of French towns, and you can see both corrida and flamenco here.
