In full political controversy, Yolanda Díaz clings to the strength of leather and brings out her most rocker vein. She has posed for the women’s magazine ‘Yo Dona’ with leather as the main protagonist. Clad in a black, sleeveless, skin-effect dress, of medium length and marking the waist, she uses fashion once again to confirm her authority.

This time, in the fiercest style. Few fabrics achieve such a groundbreaking effect as this one. She has risked and knows why.

If leather is characterized by something, it is by its resistance to tearing and any other type of incision. And still, its texture is smooth and pleasant. It seems clear that the vice president of the Government not only marks an aesthetic, but also an intention and a symbolism.

Leather is rebellion, rock, feeling free and firm. It has very definite connotations: the imperishable, the daring, the eroticism of the bodies, the quality of the element. To accentuate this effect, Díaz has completed her outfit with stilettos of the same color that, incidentally, enhance her more feminine forms.

Thanks to the multitude of synthetic options, leather reigns supreme everywhere. It is one of the revelations of this winter and also one of the fetish fabrics of the royals. Máxima from Holland, Rania from Jordan, Kate Middleton, all have worn outfits with the skin as the protagonist and it gives them a very modern air.

Queen Letizia has also repeated a black dress and pencil skirt made of this material on several occasions. Natural or synthetic, the garments are very versatile and easy to wear.

The great firms in their collections have surrendered to him, from street brands to haute couture. The celebrities and trendsetters have taken the witness in the streets and adapt it to all tastes.

From the most warrior to the seductive, the woman finds in this material an unequivocal way of expressing herself. Roberto Torreta, however, discarded it in his latest collection as too explosive. “This is no time to be aggressive,” she declared.

The one chosen by the vice president for her last pose is not the classic little black dress that it never gets old-fashioned and so recurrent to always have a sign of elegance at hand. Upside down. It is punctual and methodically chosen.

Leather is a powerful fabric that, like the patterns of the animal world, stands out in situations of convulsion and uncertainty. There have been times when it has been linked to the rebels without a cause of the 50’s.

In the 80’s, with the miniskirts and tight pants, it became a somewhat boastful fashion and one of the symbols of the power dressing urban.

If the political context were different, there would be no more reading than the vice president’s pleasure to be distracted by fashion, as she often does.

You will have more opportunities and surely this dress will last several seasons in her wardrobe, but this time it was time to generate a speech and add, if possible, more fuel to the fire.
