The Pasarela Larios de Málaga has delivered its prestigious Alfiler de Oro to the firm Lina 1960, a pioneer in bringing flamenco dresses to the Spanish catwalks.
Yesterday, the 15th, the world of flamenco dresses of the firm Lina 1960, better known as Lina or Lina Sevilla, received the Golden Pin 2023. It was in the framework of the XII Edition of the Pasarela Larios Málaga Fashion Week.
Mila and Irene, the daughters of the founder (who died in 2021), collected the award excitedly and vindicating the great present and future of flamenco fashion.
Ruffles, fringes and blanket
They say that the catwalk that Malaga Fashion Week extends over Calle Larios is the longest in the world thanks to its 350 meters. Surely to the more than 15,000 guests on the blue carpet this detail seems lucky. So you can see the designs of great thimble artists in much more detail.

The Lina 1960 parade was the last to step on the catwalk yesterday. The most anticipated and applauded.
After their flamenco dresses sported shawls, fringes, embroidery and low ruffles (one of the innovations that have made the brand famous), Lina’s daughters picked up this year’s Golden Pin, entering an exclusive list of designers that includes Agatha Ruiz de la Prada and Victorio and Lucchino.

Handmade but very wearable flamenco dresses
Lina was founded in Seville by Francisco Montero and Marcelina Fernández in 1960. Soon, the modernity that Marcelina (Lina) printed on the flamenco dresses of always made her designs the most sought after by the artists of the tablaos, but also by Hollywood stars during the Andalusian fairs.

The flamenco dress in Lina’s hands had a higher neckline, lower the volate -to stylize the figure- and looser fringes. He added exquisite handcrafted embroidered details and gave prominence to the Manila shawl, hats, combs and headdresses.
From Queen Sofia to Isabel Pantoja, from Rocío Jurado to the Duchess of Alba, at the April Fair “los linas” are sold like churros. Therefore, it is the date chosen to present a new collection every year.
At the beginning of this, the classic lines were the protagonists of the collection “The sky of Seville”, of which we leave you these images and a video recorded during its official presentation.
The works made for the world of cinema, flamenco shows, theater or song make the firm manage to capture in its collections a unique artistic, aesthetic and cultural essence.
