Matador Chic

Say olé, darlings! Intricate embroidery, boleros, and dramatic red, black and white combinations have CC reminiscing about the torero at a bullfight she once saw in the little Spanish town of Ciudad Rodrigo, outside Salamanca.

On the runways, couturiers delighted in matador-inspired details.
