Those dresses were created by a court tailor named Mateo Aguado, whose instantly recognizable style gives Baroque Spanish fashion its distinctive look and continues to influence designers today. Aguado’s long-lost creations are brought to life in Amanda Wunder’s award-winning book, Spanish Fashion in the Age of Velázquez.
