Via Swide, the Museo Frida Kahlo in Mexico City opens a first-ever exhibition of Frida Kahlo's wardrobe exploring the artist's enduring relationship with fashion. Housed in the artist's former home, also known as Casa Azul or Blue House, the museum teamed with Vogue Mexico arranging long-stored trunks of Frida Kahlo's dresses, skirts, petticoats, blouses, jewelry, Tehuana shawls, ribbons, corsets, bathing suits, and shoes.
Curated by Circe Henestrosa, the exhibit runs to November 22, 2013, titled Las Apariencias Engañan: Los vestidos de Frida Kahlo, or Appearances Can Be Deceiving: The Dresses of Frida Kahlo.
A wonderful selection of photos here from editor Valentina Zannoni who writesThe exhibition traces how Kahlo’s courage and taste still affect fashion today, from Alexander McQueen to Gwen Stefani. Dolce&Gabbana’s Spring Summer 2013 collection also inadvertedly references the artist’s style, Folk is back, while Frida has never left us.
