Daniele Carbonel Book order (chronological)

The evolution of the "costumes of light", the elaborate costume worn by the bullfighters of Spain, is told in this luminous memoire. The greatest stars of the Corrida - the Spanish bullfighting arena - are brought together, resplendent in their elaborately embroidered costumes, in a series of stunning portraits. The matadors dressed in gold and the banderilleros wearing silver re-enact the dramatic movements and intricate choreography of their profession, thus displaying the most artistic and appealing aspects of the bullfight: the costume and the gesture. In his evocative photographs, Peter Muller reveals the magnificent creations of the Fermin workshop, couturier to the matadors of Madrid.
