My book that charts the artist’s fashion evolution through more than 50 beautifully illustrated style moments.
Published in 2022 with Hardie Grant, Frida: Style Icon chronicles Frida Kahlo’s inimitable style, examining how her clothing changed during times of personal upheaval and reflected her politics, showing that fashion was an intensely important mode of self-expression. Writing the book was a dream come true and allowed me to deep-dive into the wardrobe of my very own style icon.
From her rebellious adolescence, where she learned the power of portraiture from her photographer father and embrace the tradition of her mother’s Tehuana heritage, through to her fascination with cosmetics, accessories and elaborate hairstyles.
Illustrated fabulously by Camilla Perkins, Frida: Style Icon gives insight into the lasting legacy of Frida’s style choices, both on the wider world of fashion and on legions of Frida devotees.
