The hot week of Feria de Abril has begun in Seville, and it is here, amid the lights and flamenco, that Lourdes Montes has once again found herself in the spotlight. This time, the designer not only presented her new works but also opened her personal family album: in the frame are Carmen and Curro, the children of Lourdes and Fran Rivera, getting ready for the festivities in a special mood. As Divinity notes, the public has long been used to seeing Lourdes among the main protagonists of the Feria, but this year the focus has shifted to her children and the touching details of their looks.
Family traditions in the details
While Seville lives to the rhythm of the Feria, Lourdes Montes is not only working on collections for her brand ‘Mi Abril’ but also personally ensures her children look flawless. This year, Carmen and Curro are the true stars of the family chronicle: the designer showed how they prepare for the celebration and which details in their outfits refer to family history. Curro’s look has become especially talked about: the boy appeared in a classic traje de corto by Justo Algaba—’sastre de los toreros,’ as he is known in Spain. But the key is in the nuances: on Curro’s suit you can spot buttons bearing his grandfather’s mark and caireles that belonged to the legendary Juan Belmonte. This choice did not go unnoticed: the public saw in this not just a fashion statement, but a subtle family nod.
Curro and Carmen: festive spirit
Lourdes didn’t stop at just sharing images of her son. Her Instagram also featured shots with Carmen, her elder daughter, who, like her mother, chose a flamenco-style dress for the Feria de Abril. In the photo, the girl sits at a mirror in the family home, trying on a white dress with red accents from ‘Mi Abril,’ complemented by a peach-colored mantón and traditional flowers in her hair. Lourdes’ caption — “Mi flamenca perfecta” — only fueled interest in the picture. The attention to detail, the atmosphere of preparation, and the subtle family intrigue made these images among the most discussed on Spanish social media this week.
Fashion, tradition, and personal moments
Festive days are always eventful for Lourdes Montes: she not only creates new looks for herself and her clients, but also shares behind-the-scenes glimpses of family traditions. This year, according to Divinity, the designer released a capsule collection in collaboration with Birmani — for those seeking an alternative to the classic traje de flamenca. Yet, even amid fashion novelties, it was the family moments that took center stage. The public notes: in the shots with Carmen and Curro, one feels not just style, but a special generational bond that Lourdes highlights with details and symbols.
Society column: Feria de Abril
The Feria de Abril traditionally becomes the scene for the brightest appearances and the most unexpected fashion choices. This year, as before, all eyes are on celebrities, their families, and the details that spark discussion. It’s no coincidence that last year, Anabel Pantoja’s striking polka-dot look at ‘El Pescaíto’ night also stirred a wave of comments — the details of that appearance were discussed as much as Lourdes Montes’ family photos. As a result, every gesture, every choice of outfit or accessory at the Feria de Abril becomes part of a larger social narrative, where the personal and the public intertwine in a particularly vivid way.
