Mexican painter and fierce fashionista Frida Kahlo showcased an assemblage of stylish fashion as frequently as she displayed provocative artwork. Fifty years after her death, Kahlo's sealed wardrobe has been pried open, revealing pieces: beautiful Tehuana dresses, cat-eye glasses, contoured corsets and much more.
"She had the courage to paint women's pain, which must never be revealed in patriarchal warrior societies. Yet she was true to her longing, as a female, to create beauty even out of an imperfect female body. Viva Frida! I visited Casa Azul, and everything I see and read about her still touches the deepest core of my feminine soul," said Gloria Bertonis, a fan of Kahlo.
