Fashion trends 2012: Matador

One of the most iconic trend of S/S 2012, is the one inspired by hispanic culture, the Corrida de toros and toreadors. Illuminated by the blazing sun of Spain, uincited by the shouts of spectators, unusual toreador women parade in their traditional short jackets and stretch pants giving life to a very particular trend.

The matadors are celebrated by Moschino on s/s collection, during the Milan Fashion Week 2012. Looking at this fashion show, I've immediately thought to movie "Habla con ella" by Pedro Almodovar.

I really liked the idea to bring on catwalk a piece of Spanish tradition, but despite an appreciable effort, I don't think this is exactly a wearable collection... a little too folk. Of course this is a personal opinion, even if I have to admit that, next to unwearable garments, there are other ones that, take individually, are more suitable, and that we can consider must-have of season.

What do you think about?
