Frida Kahlo An Illustrated Biography by Zena Alkayat and ilustrated by Nina Cosford
Frida Kahlo (6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954) liked to dress in traditional costumes and pay homage to the different people originating from her country, México.
Her wardrobe includes embroidered shirts, braids wrapped with ribbons wrapped around the top of her head and polleras (large full skirts used in traditional festivities and folklore throughout Latin America).
Many of these costumes, related to the history and traditions of México, made Frida a fashion icon and have already inspired fashion designers and also artists and film directors.
Frida Kahlo's life and the details of her work and personal world are an inspiration to the entire world.
Here I share some paper dolls, that we can find on the internet, as a tribute to this great artist and woman and those who are inspired by her.
