Casa Real La Reina, alone in Arco
Yesterday it transpired that Queen Letizia plans to attend Madrid Fashion Week on her agenda for next Friday, March 11, information revealed by
Vanitatis
.
It was time for the consort to return to the parades, she had not stepped
on her carpet since 2010
and it has not rained for everyone, especially for the monarchy.
At that time she was Princess of Asturias, she had two very young girls, an almost recently operated nose and a brother-in-law, Iñaki Urdangarin, still "exemplary".
Nothing was yet
known about elephants, or Corinna
, and King Juan Carlos was known more for his good nature than for his opaque fortune.
The chronicles of the moment celebrated the presence of Letizia in their own way.
María Eugenia Yagüe wrote
: "In Madrid, we had always missed that the Queen or the Infantas supported Spanish fashion, with something more than attending a parade of friends. Letizia has done it officially with a meeting at the Ego de Cibeles, the platform of the young promises who exhibit their creations there; then he greeted the consecrated couturiers. The act had plenty of protocol and official entourage, surely Letizia would have wanted a closer visit (...). The Princess did not go to any of the parades, apparently to
avoid creating rivalries
.
A shame.
In any case, Letizia knew how to firmly avoid those who tried to take photos of her with the sponsor drink on duty and other advertisements.
And it is that who was a cook before being a friar.."
The then Princess with Esperanza Aguirre and Cuca Solana.
Together with the then princess, dressed in a relaxed way in a brown knitted sweater, the authorities of the moment were photographed:
Esperanza Aguirre, at that time president of the Community of Madrid, and Cuca Solana, director of the catwalk
, now deceased.
Our dear, and also deceased,
Carlos García-Calvo, summed up the meeting thus
: "The inflated ego of four or five veteran creators, one of those generously subsidized by the Community of Madrid, turned into a somewhat politicized matter what in principle was going to be a nice meeting of the Princess of Asturias with the young designers who paraded in Ego yesterday morning.They followed Doña Letizia through the 'real' of Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week (CMFW), in Ifema, with an air of solemnity very little according to the moment, but they achieved their purpose: to appear in the photo and on the news with the Princess.It is also curious that the two
couturiers
with whom Doña Letizia is usually associated,
Lorenzo Caprile
, who created her spectacular court wardrobe for her in 2005, and Felipe Varela, who dresses her today, do not parade at CMFW.
What's more, her second was defenestrated from her with very poor vision on two occasions.
Both were absent yesterday and do not receive grants of any kind, by the way."
It must be remembered that in 2016,
Felipe Varela
returned to Cibeles to parade after a long time without appearing there, but Letizia did not attend the
revival
of her chamber dressmaker.
She did not take advantage of that opportunity.
However, she now decides to return, with the pandemic more controlled and as a Queen settled in office.
The program for the day is as follows, according to Vanitatis: The Queen is expected to arrive there at 10.30.
That day
Andrés Sardá, Isabel Sanchís, Hannibal Laguna, Roberto Torretta, Teresa Helbig, Jorge Vázquez and Brain & Beast
parade .
The idea is for the Queen to visit Ego's showroom (just as she did the first time she went to Cibeles).
Again the corner of new designers in which Anel Yaos, David Catalán, Ele, Evade House, Goodption and Morle, among others, participate this year.
It is very likely that, although during her visit the parades of Andrés Sardá and Roberto Torretta coincide, the Queen will not stay in any of them so as not to appear to establish preferences among the dressmakers summoned by ACME.
The grace will be
who will be dressed that day and if she coincides backstage with Marta Ortega.
The Queen, in her own way, always supports Spanish fashion.
She attends the National Fashion Award every year and wears clothes 'made in Spain' almost always, although
since she has a stylist, Eva Fernández, she has received more international awards
in luxury accessories, but little compared to other consorts .
