Description
"Frida Kahlo remains one of the most popular artists of our time sales of Frida books number into the hundreds of thousands and yet no volume has ever focused on one of the most memorable aspects of her persona and creative oeuvre: her wardrobe. Now, for the first time, 95 original and beautifully staged photographs of Kahlo's newly restored clothing are paired with historic photos of the artist wearing them and her paintings in which the garments appear. Frida's life and style were an show more integral part of her art, and she is long overdue for recognition as a fashion icon" --Publisher description. show lessTags

Frida Kahlo's wardrobe, found locked in her bathroom for 50 years after her death & seen again for the first time in 2004 when the door was opened. The clothing was cleaned & repaired, staged for photographs & text written by our friend, Marta Turok. We attended a book review & slide show about the book in Philadelphia before it was released.
