"The traditional Valencian costume for women, known as the “fallera,” is a stunning ensemble characterized by its intricate details and vibrant colors. The fallera dress is typically made from luxurious fabrics such as silk or brocade and is adorned with ornate embroidery, lace, and ribbons.
The fallera costume consists of a fitted bodice, known as the “corpiño,” which is often embellished with intricate floral patterns and metallic threads. The skirt, called the “falda,” is wide and voluminous, creating a regal and elegant silhouette. It is often layered with petticoats to add even more volume and grandeur.
To complete the fallera look, women wear a unique hairstyle known as the “peineta.” The peineta is a large decorative comb that is placed at the back of the head, providing support and height to the elaborately styled hair. It is often adorned with flowers or decorative elements that match the overall color scheme of the costume.
Men also have a traditional costume called the “fallero,” which is less elaborate compared to the fallera dress but still exudes a sense of tradition and style. The fallero costume typically consists of a white shirt, a waistcoat adorned with buttons, trousers, and a festive sash.
The sash, known as the “faja,” is a colorful and decorative accessory that is tied around the waist. It represents a sense of pride and unity among the falleros, symbolizing their participation in the festival and their belonging to a particular falla group."
Both the fallera and fallero costumes are meticulously crafted and handed down through generations, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Valencians have for their cultural traditions.
