Description:
Frida Kahlo was not only an iconic artist, she was also a bold beauty and avant-garde fashionista whose timeless sense of style continues to inspire and influence the worlds of fashion, media, and art today. Fashion was an optical effect that Frida knew how to use with wit and artistic intention. She understood that life is theater and fashion its costume. For Frida, the canvas was the mirror, and she was the painter, the model, and the painting — the author, the subject, the medium, and the object. Frida was her own greatest work of art.

Whether in Mexico, New York, or Paris, Frida Kahlo’s unique multicultural aesthetic created an exciting, unmatched style that made her the center of attention wherever she went. The impact of her fusion of fashion continues to generate worldwide fascination. International fashion magazines still feature editorials reflecting her influence; designers and models channel her indomitable spirit; filmmakers, musicians, and artists create new works inspired by her singular aesthetic. Fashion as the Art of Being is a vibrant homage to the character, style, and audacious art of Frida Kahlo, a fascinating journey into the kaleidoscopic ways in which her unique history and personality have been interpreted and adapted like few others of our time.
