Bullfighter Goes Armani

This September in Rhonda, Andalusia, the annual "Corrida Goyesca" bullfight will take place and the bullfighter, Cayetano Rivera from Spain, will be wearing an outfit specially designed for him for the event by Giorgio Armani.

The traditional "suit of lights" that bullfighter's wear will this time appear in Armani's signature shade of greyish beige and will feature sequins, crystals, and silver thread embroidery.

An interesting note: Rivera apparently comes from a long line of bullfighters and his grandfather, Antonio Ordonez, had a suit designed for the same event about 50 years ago by Pablo Picasso.
