Published on 7.15.25
Olivier Bernoux, a luxury fan store designer in Madrid, believes fans are not just for the elderly but have become a stylish accessory due to climate change. He notes that men prefer classic designs while Spanish women appreciate more delicate ones, with French customers favoring linen creations. The humble fan has also taken on a new role as a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride, with dancers using them during Madrid's Pride festival and Ecuadorian journalist Erika von Berliner describing her own fan as "very elegant" when used with style.
