The Fashion of Frida Kahlo


The year was 1954, the year Frida Kahlo passed away.


Diego Rivera 
had her dressing room at the Casa Azul locked,
with the stipulation that it could be opened 50 years later.
Imagine...


that day became a reality,2004. 
The discoveries behind that 
closed door were revealed for the first time ever!


Frida Kahlo
paper doll dresses


These original pieces were designed by myself
and 
the dress are created in a 3-dimentional form.


Could you imagine being there...
exploring Frida's dressing room!

With a little imagination, this is what I thought I might have seen.

Happy Monday!
