Perhaps the most brilliant artist of the twentieth century in every sense, Frida Kahlo is remembered worldwide for her poignant, frank paintings, and for fashion lovers – also for her stunning outfits. Frida, a Mexican by birth, appeals to the national costume of her country. Juicy colors, simple but feminine shapes, an abundance of large beads. Also the ruffles and carriage necklines stand out. It is hard not to notice the square patterns, which are rarely used as decoration for women’s outfits.

After a terrible accident in which Frida Kahlo was involved in her youth, she suffered a severe back injury that resulted in disability, but her taste was that of a great artist. The outfits, paintings and history of this amazing personality are perfectly portrayed in the movie Frida with the brilliant Salma Hayek, who literally lived up to the role. And in the Frida Kahlo house-museum in Mexico City. And now, more than 70 years later, the outfits look as if they were worn yesterday by the models on the catwalks.
