Get the Look: Frida Kahlo ~ VFG Fashion Parade for week of July 1st


Get the Look: Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo’s wardrobe remained locked away until 2002. In November 2012 the Museo Frida Kahlo, in collaboration with Vogue México, opened the very first exhibition of Kahlo’s garments.

Frida Kahlo was the daughter of a German father and a Mexican mother, specifically a Mexican from Tehuana. This area of Oaxaca is matriarchal, and Kahlo chose to dress in her native region’s style to portray power, as well as hide her disabilities.
