Leni Méndez’s costume design pays tribute to the female experience, creating a playful bridge between the Spanish Golden Age and the present. Period silhouettes and fabrics are combined with contemporary references to define each protagonist and support the production’s humor. Through evolving cuts, textures, and color palettes, the costumes trace women’s enduring struggle for the freedom to choose their own destinies.
