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

El traje desvela la historia de esta prenda desde su aparición en Europa occidental a finales del siglo XVII hasta nuestros días.

Todos reconocen su obra. Nadie conoce al hombre. Cristóbal Balenciaga no se dejaba ver en sus desfiles ni salía jamás a saludar tras finalizarlos. Si hacemos caso a la leyenda, el diseñador vasco seguia con detalle los pases a traves de un discreto agujero practicado en las cortinas de terciopelo que decoraban su maison. Apenas existen retratos suyos, e incluso llego a calar el rumor de que el hombre invisible de la alta costura no era mas que una invencion, una estrategia comercial elaborada con astucia. De lo que no cabe duda es de que el mejor diseñador de todos los tiempos -segun reconocieron Christian Dior o Coco Chanel- antepuso siempre el prestigio a la fama y fue artifice de una obra inmortal, casi tan grande como el misterio que aun hoy envuelve su biografia. Este libro supone una original inmersion en una figura excepcional e irrepetible. Maria Fernandez-Miranda se viste la piel del maestro y nos ofrece un retrato poliedrico en ocho escenas que dibujan con elegancia su geografia sentimental y creativa. Un mapa de paisajes, colores, tejidos y fragancias que nos conduce desde las empinadas calles de su Guetaria natal hasta las sofisticadas avenidas parisinas que protagonizaron la edad dorada de la alta costura, invitandonos a desvelar el enigma Balenciaga.
