THE WEST'S STYLE ICON: FRIDA KAHLO
Frida Kahlo, who inspired women from all over the world and was a key figure in shaping Mexico’s post-colonial identity, had a fashion sense as striking as her works of art. So, what kind of style did this woman, who is still talked about even today, possess?
Most of Kahlo’s photographs are in black and white, but many of her painted self-portraits give us clues about her colorful personal style. At a time when it was popular for Mexicans to try to look as European as possible, Kahlo proudly wore long traditional peasant skirts, her accessories, and headpieces left over from her mother’s youth. Frida Kahlo’s style never became mainstream. The identity that emerged after the revolution also influenced her style. For her, clothing was a new way to represent various ideas. Frida Kahlo’s influence on fashion is considered just as powerful as her influence on the art world.
Clothing is always the most striking and effective way to express ourselves. So, how do you express yourself? Is it through the language of colors like Frida?
