The Icons from the 40's like Ava Gardner or Hedy Lamarr knew already what is the most trendy and useful item for the summer: the Fan, or "Abanico" in case you are spanish, because in the 16th century Spanish monarchs, and nobility used it as patriotic symbol. Later on, in the 17th and 18th century It became a fashion trend, in all Europe.
Amazingly, today when everything has changed, this item is exactly the same the way It used to be, so practical and convenient, beautiful and full of tradition,
"El abanico" is the perfect accessory for this sunny days.
We could see the awesome "hat" made with three fans in Armani prive 2011 fall/winter, and....why not? Fans are lightweight and have a very large surface to protect us for the sun! today's fashion is characterized for putting everything under question marks, for questioning the functionality of everything, to then move whatever around and play with it.
Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2011 fashion show, helped the spread of this trend. Introducing some lace, colourful, huge fans, LV made an impact in all the expecting eyes.
Some new fashion icons, like the young model Frida Gustavsson, and Elena Perminova, haven't wait to be seen with the star item, follow their example.
