  The color-flavor locking phenomenon in the magnetic picture can be the
microscopic description of the quark confinement in QCD. We demonstrate it in
an N=2 supersymmetric SU(Nc)xSU(Nc) quiver gauge theory coupled to Nf flavors
of quarks (Nf<Nc). This model reduces to SU(Nc) gauge theory with Nf flavors
when the vacuum expectations value of the link field is much larger than the
dynamical scales, and thus provides a continuous deformation of the N=2
supersymmetric QCD. We study a vacuum which survives upon adding a
superpotential term to reduce to N=1 while preserving the vectorial SU(Nf)
flavor symmetry. We find a region of the parameter space where the confinement
is described by the Higgsing of a weakly coupled magnetic SU(Nf)xU(1) gauge
theory. The Higgsing locks the quantum numbers of SU(Nf) magnetic color to
those of SU(Nf) flavor symmetry, and thus the massive magnetic gauge bosons
become the singlet and adjoint representations of the flavor group, i.e, the
vector mesons. If the qualitative picture remains valid in non-supersymmetric
QCD, one can understand the Hidden Local Symmetry as the magnetic dual
description of QCD, and the confining string is identified as the vortex of
vector meson fields.
