FRIDA KAHLO: FASHION AS THE ART OF BEING

FRIDA KAHLO: FASHION AS THE ART OF BEING

Assouline

Description

Frida Kahlo was not only an iconic artist, but also a bold beauty icon and avant-garde fashion inspiration whose timeless style continues to inspire the worlds of fashion, media and art today. For Frida, fashion was a kind of optical effect that she used with keen intelligence and clear artistic intent. She knew that life was a kind of stage, and fashion was her costume. She understood the importance of image and attitude, no matter who you were. For Frida, the canvas was a mirror – she was at once painter, model and image; author, subject, medium and object. In a way, Frida was her own greatest work of art.

Whether she resided in Mexico City, New York, or Paris, Frida Kahlo's unique multicultural aesthetic blend created an exciting and inimitable style that made her the center of attention wherever she appeared. The influence of her fashion statement still resonates strongly around the world today. International fashion magazines publish editorials that clearly demonstrate Frida's influence; fashion designers and models continue to draw inspiration from her indomitable spirit; directors, songwriters, and artists create new works that reflect her unique aesthetic.

Fashion as the Art of Being is a vibrant, artistic coffee table book dedicated to the bold character, style, and art of Frida Kahlo. It is a fascinating journey through the kaleidoscopic ways in which Frida's unique story and personality have been interpreted and reinterpreted - in a way rarely seen in other artists of our time.
