Flamenco Paseo

Everybody knows that flamenco comes from Spain and they have amazing dresses when they perform. The flamenco style is so popular and has so many designers they have their own fashion week!

The entire show is based on the best flamenco designers. It is held every year and this year it was on January 31 through February 3 in Sevilla, Spain. If you think you've seen pretty flamenco dresses, you haven't seen a anything yet. Here are some amazing flamenco dresses that Spain is famous for.

Not all flamenco styles are dresses, there were a couple designers who designed pants with flamenco inspiration. Designer Juana Martin used the pant design. Her collection was called, "Mil y una Gitanas"

There are some wearable flamenco designs and I think this is the best example. It's pretty, simple but still has the flamenco flavor to it.
