	•	The reflection of modernity and social status through dress.
	•	A focus on both urban and traditional Spanish fashion, showing his range of subjects.

Content Structure

The book is divided into two main parts:
1. Essays by Leading Scholars and Curators
	•	Eloy Martínez de la Pera offers a curatorial vision connecting Sorolla’s work to haute couture and daily fashion trends.
	•	Lorena Delgado and María López-Fanjul discuss the historical context of fashion from the Belle Époque to the 1920s.
	•	Marie-Sophie Carron de la Carrière provides insight into how Parisian fashion houses influenced Spanish high society and, by extension, the subjects Sorolla painted.
2. Catalogue Section
	•	Over 70 works by Sorolla, with accompanying period clothing and accessories displayed alongside the paintings in the original exhibition.
	•	Paintings include key portraits of his wife Clotilde, his daughters, and Madrid aristocracy, where garments are painted with astonishing detail and authenticity.
	•	Several comparative images and close-ups illustrate how Sorolla’s painting mirrored the physical garments—some of which were on loan from institutions and private collectors.
Key Works Featured
	•	Clotilde in a Black Dress (1906) – capturing elegance and somber beauty.
	•	Maria with a Mantilla – linking Spanish heritage with modern identity.
	•	Portrait of the Countess of Yebes – showcasing haute couture.

	•	High-resolution images of paintings.
	•	Archival photographs of the sitters.
	•	Photos of preserved garments worn by Sorolla’s subjects.
	•	Reproductions of fashion plates and advertisements from the era.
The design aligns with the museum exhibition’s aesthetic: elegant, classical, and scholarly, while still appealing to a broader audience interested in fashion, portraiture, and turn-of-the-century culture.
Conclusion
Sorolla and Fashion presents Joaquín Sorolla not only as a brilliant portraitist but also as a subtle chronicler of style and femininity. His portraits serve as a window into the evolution of fashion and its role in shaping identity in early 20th-century Spain. The book is a beautifully produced and intellectually rich addition to both art and fashion history libraries.
