One of my great friends, Flor, has asked me to help her revamp her wardrobe for the summer. Flor is an amazing artist, and an inspiration. She works with kids at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Las Vegas and has featured her art in Vegas's First Friday as well as the Day of the Dead exhibit here. She told me she recently started looking through one of her idols work, and biography. She became inspired, and has given me the exciting task of bring Frida back! She wants me to help her modernize Frida Kahlo's style, and give her a new look for the summer!
I'm ecstatic about this project and already started to do a little research. I've looked at some of Frida's self portraits and read a little bit about her history. And all I can say is DAM! that woman went through it all! But no matter what she was trying to say through her self portraits, I just kept seeing strength, heart, and beauty. Her use of bold colors, and light clothing inspired me for the summer. Keep posted to the blog for updates on Flor's wardrobe. But for now, definitely check out some of her stuff, she really was an amazing person!
