Opulent Matador Couture

This Joan Smalls Vogue Germany Cover Story is Culturally Ornate

— December 16, 2013 — Pop Culture
The Joan Smalls Vogue Germany January 2014 cover story brings its cultural inspiration to life with a Matador-themed wardrobe of couture pieces. The supermodel is captured by Luigi & Daniele + Iango while posing in a range of embroidered, ornate and eccentric looks that are hand picked by the magazine's editor-in-chief Christiane Arp.

Joan channels her inner tomboy while dressed in high-waisted trouser and bolero pairings and shows a softer side with voluminous gowns that would rival those of a Spanish Flamenco dancer.

Hair stylist Luigi Murenu and makeup artist Kabuki complete the model's glamorous transformation into an elegant style icon with a flair for drama and excess. The Joan Smalls Vogue Germany January 2014 cover story highlights pieces from Falke, Dries Van Noten and Emilio Pucci among a slew of others.
Trend Themes
1. Matador-inspired Couture - Incorporate cultural motifs and ornate embroidery in high-fashion couture for a distinctive look.
2. Gender-bending Fashion - Experiment with traditionally masculine silhouettes, such as high-waisted trousers and bolero jackets, for a unique and edgy aesthetic.
3. Flamenco-inspired Gowns - Combine voluminous, flowing gowns with intricate details for a dramatic look inspired by Spanish Flamenco dancers.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - With the rise of cultural and gender-bending fashion trends, there is an opportunity for designers and brands to create unique and innovative pieces that appeal to a broader audience.
2. Beauty - As dramatic and ornate fashion becomes more popular, there is a need for beauty products and services that can match the unique and extravagant looks.
3. Editorial - Magazines and other editorial outlets can take inspiration from the Matador and Flamenco trends to create visually stunning and culturally-influenced photoshoots and features.
