Frida Kahlo: Fashion as the Art of Being (Legends) Details
Frida Kahlo was not only an iconic artist but also a daring fashionista whose unique style continues to inspire and influence the worlds of fashion, media, and art today. Fashion is an optical effect that Kahlo employed with shrewd intelligence and artistic intention, and her original, multicultural aesthetic made her the center of attention wherever she went. This vibrant tribute to Frida Kahlo’s bold character, style, art, and fashion reflects the kaleidoscopic ways her unique story and personality have been interpreted and adapted as few others in our time.
Reviews
I'm glad that I purchased this book at the lower price of $119.12. My boyfriend paid for half of the cost as a Christmas gift. The full retail price is about $199.00. The book is nicely laid out, but many of the photos are borrowed from other books such as the Chronicle book called "Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress" and another book titled "Frida Kahlo Her Photos". Many of the black and white photos fill the entire pages of this coffee table book. When these photos are blown up this large they are very grainy. I didn't feel that the book offered any new insight on Frida Kahlo. I found it to be a disappointment.
