Frida Kahlo was not only an iconic artist, she was also a daring beauty and avant-garde fashionista whose timeless sense of style continues to inspire and influence the worlds of fashion, media and art today. Fashion is an optical illusion that Frida knew how to use with clever intelligence and artistic intention. Frida knew that life is a theater and fashion is its costume. Frida understood the importance of image and attitude, regardless of the person. The canvas was Frida's mirror, and she was the painter, the model and the painting - the author, the subject, the medium and the object. Frida was his best work of art.

Whether in Mexico City, New York or Paris, Frida Kahlo's unique multicultural aesthetic blend created an exciting and unmistakable style that made her the center of attention wherever she went. The impact of Frida's fashion fusion still generates a contagious attraction worldwide. International fashion magazines feature editorials that clearly demonstrate Frida's influence; fashion designers and models continue to channel her indomitable spirit; Filmmakers, songwriters and artists create new works that reflect her singular aesthetic. Fashion as the Art of Being is a vibrant tribute to Frida Kahlo's character, style and bold art, a fascinating journey reflecting the ways kaleidoscopic whose unique story and personality of Frida has been interpreted and adapted like few others in our time.
