Fashion is an optical effect that Frida knew how to employ with shrewd intelligence and artistic intention. Frida knew that life is theater, and fashion was her costume. Frida understood the importance of image and attitude, no matter who you are. The canvas was Frida\u2019s mirror, and she was the painter, the model, and the painting\u2014author, subject, medium, and object. Frida was her own best work of art.<\/p>\n<p>Whether she was in Mexico City, New York, or Paris, Frida Kahlo\u2019s unique multicultural aesthetic m\u00e9lange created an exciting and matchless style that made her the center of attention wherever she went. The impact of Frida\u2019s fashion fusion still generates an infectious attraction the world over. International fashion magazines feature editorials that clearly display Frida\u2019s influence; fashion designers and models continue to channel her indomitable spirit; filmmakers, songwriters, and artists create new works that reflect her singular aesthetic. Fashion as the Art of Being is a vibrant tribute to Frida Kahlo\u2019s bold character, style, and art, a fascinating journey reflecting the kaleidoscopic ways Frida\u2019s unique story and personality have been interpreted and adapted as few others in our time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-237442 img-responsive img-center\"
