Georgio Armani Designs Costume for Spanish Matador – He may be more used to designing suits to be showcased on the catwalk and the red carpet, but Giorgio Armani has now turned his talent to the bullring.

According to the DailyTelegraph.co.uk, one of Spain’s leading matadors stepped into the ring on Saturday clad in a made-to-measure costume by the Italian designer, Georgio Armani.

The haute couture traje de luz- or suit of lights- was designed for 32-year-old Cayetano Rivera Ordonez, the latest in a distinguished dynasty of bullfighting aristocrats, to wear in an annual event held in the historic bullring in Ronda, southern Spain.

In the 1950s Pablo Picasso created a suit worn by Rivera’s illustrious grandfather, Antonio Ordonez, for the same event.

Armani’s skin tight version, an embroidered three piece creation in the designer’s favourite shade of griege, complete with a full-length cape lined in scarlet velvet, glittered alluringly in the evening light thanks to a heavy dose of sequins and Swarovski crystals.
