Frida Kahlo Vintage Wardrobe

Frida Kahlo

Frida Inspired Fashion Shoot

New on bookstands is "Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress: Frida's Wardrobe" released June 2008 by Chronicle books. It takes a look beyond Frida Kahlo as an artist and looks at one of the most interesting aspects of her persona - her wardrobe. When I learned of this book - I was interested in finding out more about Frida Kahlo's style of dress. What I like the most are the bold pieces of jewelry and her use of flowers as accents. Her style of dress has been a source of fashion inspiration - as evidenced by the Harper's Bazaar shoot in the third photo.
