Frida

Mentioning Frida Kahlo in the eyebrow post yesterday prompted me to look at her iconic style and artwork.

I love the way Frida wore her hair in plaits and with ribbons or flowers. I also am inspired by the amount of colour in her clothes. When it comes to summer I like to wear clothes with a folklore edge and hair in plaits. Although it is more Heidi than Frida I suspect . . .
At Moseley Folk Festival 2009


Anyway back to the beautiful Frida . . . 


. . . and some of her artwork. Much of it seems to be autobiographical.




If you haven't seen the film 'Frida', I suggest you take a look.
