Putting an end when the emotion is at the heart of the skin is an almost mystical experience. After an intense week of parades, we Love Flamenco closed its X edition with the sweet taste of the mouth that lets us see Flamenco fashion again in its full splendor. On a very emotional and special day, which began with the traditional parade of the Sandra Ibarra Front Al Cancer Foundation, yesterday was the confirmation that Flamenco fashion is more alive than ever.
The fantastic Sandra Ibarra Foundation in front of Cancer returned to the we Love Flamenco gateway, wasting strength, courage and, above all, flamencura. A parade in which designs were seen by all the firms participating in this X edition of the runway, with the collaboration of CaixaBank and Fundación la Caixa. Thus, at the rhythm of Sevillanas and Flamenco inspired music, women struggling against this disease once again showed Flamenco fashion and gave a message of life.
The excitement and solidarity of the morning were followed by the proposals of Mercedes Dobenal, Paco Prieto, Rocío Márquez, Pitusa Gasul, Rocío Olmedo and Pablo Retamero and Juanjo Bernal.
