INAGURATION “50 YEARS OF THE RONDENEAN GOYESCO OUTFIT”
Opened to public since November 8 at Wine Interpretation Centre of Sangre de Ronda Winery, located in the historic district of Ronda.
In tribute to Pepa Borrego, who has been responsible of creating based in her imagination more that 400 dresses for the last 50 years.
Pepa Borrego was born after WWII and since early age she showed astonishing skills in couture and designed. The peak of her career is reached with the creation of the Rondenean goyesco outfit.
Since she created the first dress back in 1961, this has become her main activity.
Each year the audience waits with great expectation her designs.
This rondenean artist has been the creator of most of the spectacular outfits worn during the Goyesca bullfight, it can be said that she is the inventor of this style of dresses.
Her designs have served as inspiration for important fashion designers around the world.
Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the first dress created by this artist, we have created this exposition which shows the evolution of the dress for the past 5 decades in order to tribute her work. Each of the dresses is unique but all of them share certain characteristics such as the colors, the stylization of the women figure etc.
The exposition is accompanied by posters of all of the Goyescan bullfights.
This sample presents an important number of outfits and accessories from 1961 to present.
The first Goyescan Bullfight was held in 1954 in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of birth of Pedro Romero, a Rondenean bullfighter.
Since then this bullfight has been celebrated, it is held in the first week of September.
This particular bullfight evokes the time period in which Francisco de Goya lived, who lived in the same time period of Pedro Romero who is believed to be the inventor of modern bullfighting.
A basic part of this celebration are the outfits worn by the bullfighters, “banderilleros”, and a selected group of 18 young women that each year give color to this extraordinary feast
