Today's fashionable femme is an international sensation in the worlds of modern art, an icon of the 20th century, a dirty joke-telling smoker, a woman that always wanted to portray her Mexicanidad (Mexican cultural identity) and to me a fashion icon like no other.
If you know me, you know that I have a little bit of an obsession with Frida Kahlo, but who doesn't right?? My mom introduce me to her work at a very early age, I was fascinated by her, to me Kahlo defied the odds, not only by learning to walk again (twice), but by taking the world by storm with her unique artistic vision. And of course her sense of style was out of this world for a 7 year old me!
"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine she must be out there thinking of me; too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I am her, and I am just as strange as you"
FRIDA KAHLO.
Amner and I had the chance to see her work this past summer you can read about it here, and you can see Azul dress as Frida here.
Happy Thursday everybody, I am off to an adventure with my wild things!
Laura.
