Fashion

Frida Kahlo was the most famous Mexican artist of the 20th century and an outstanding portraitist, but it is only through her clothes that we get to know in detail who Frida Kahlo really was. Shortly after her death in 1954, her husband, also an artist, Diego Rivera, had her most precious items locked in the bathroom of their famous Blue House in Mexico City for 15 years. But only with the death of the administrator of his estate in 2004 did the archive become accessible to the public. The artist Ishiuch Miyako was allowed to photograph some of her most famous relics and a series of photographs of the dresses was created called Frida.
