La moda española en la epoca de Velázquez reconstruye la vida y obra de Mateo Aguado, el hasta la fecha desconocido sastre que creó los llamativos vestidos que confirieron a la corte española su aspecto caracteristico durante el reinado de Felipe IV. Como sastre de camara de la reina desde 1630 hasta su muerte en 1672, Aguado diseño las iconicas prendas inmortalizadas en los retratos pintados por Diego Velazquez de las reinas Isabel de Borbon y Mariana de Austria, y de las infantas Maria Teresa y Margarita. Aguado y sus compañeros artesanos de la corte ocupaban una posicion unica en la sociedad madrileña, a caballo entre la esfera restrictiva y ceremoniosa de la corte y las bulliciosas calles comerciales de la ciudad. Basado en una meticulosa investigacion en el Archivo General de Palacio de Madrid, este libro, profusamente ilustrado, da vida al mundo de los artesanos de la corte y detalla por primera vez las prendas y accesorios que confeccionaron para sus patronos reales. Las creaciones de Aguado desempeñaron un papel crucial en los principales acontecimientos politicos del reinado de Felipe IV en tiempos de guerra y de paz, en la diplomacia internacional y en los matrimonios, nacimientos y muertes de la realeza. Los trajes que Mateo Aguado diseño para la Casa Real dieron f
