The promenade of the Grava beach Xàbia (Paseo Joaquín Sorolla) hosts a fashion show with dresses inspired by the works of the brilliant painter Joaquín Sorolla designed by Alba García of Cache Croche.
The parade, titled 'Sorolla, sea and light' will be on Saturday, September 16, starting at 19:00 p.m. and has the collaboration of the Departments of Culture and Economic Development, as well as the Rotary Club Jávea, the Xàbia Port Merchants Association, the local artist, Toni Marí and other entities from Xàbia.
Alba García has captured in the designs some of the most representative paintings of the Valencian painter whose death marks 100 years in 2023. It was on August 10, 1923 when the Valencian painter, who visited Xàbia five times, died.
There are 15 pieces made with recycled materials and sustainable fabric by students from the Cànem Fashion School, Artisan Schools, UPV and San Juan Bosco in Valencia, as well as professional painters such as Toni López, Daniel González, Alberto Ruslan, Nieves Puente , Rosana Martí, María Fragoso and Nacho Climent.
The models will parade with hats and headdresses made by the EASD of Valencia and traditional Doña Alpargata footwear.
The parade will take place next to the bronze sculpture of the Valencian painter that presides over the promenade that gives its name and is open to all residents, as well as visitors and tourists.
This project by Joaquín Sorolla takes a lot of work and time, it has already been presented in Valencia and now in Javea exclusively, which is where the Great Painter made some of his canvases and it is a tribute to him. I don't understand the anger because it is now done in Javea. the Pearl of the Mediterranean
Fed up with Sorolla.
Am I the only one who doesn't like it?
It captured the light very well, yes, but that's it.
I am also fed up with the commercial exploitation of Mr. Bastida's figure.!!!
Come on, let's continue squeezing Sorolla to death.
Let the entire planet know that Sorolla is Jávea.
Let more people come, without stopping, let's go!!!
