Frida Kahlo is 110 years old today.
And we say "is" because, even though she officially died in 1954, the Mexican painter is as lively as ever.
Style icon since ever, Frida Kahlo's look is unmistakable: the monobrow, the crown of flowers, flashy jewelry, traditional Tehuana clothing, the huipil shirt, skirts, shawls. Frida is perhaps the female figure, with the Madonna, most recognizable, loved, honored and copied to the world.
Today as then.
From Jean Paul Gaultier to Beyoncè, from John Galliano to Salma Hayek who has played her excellent in the 2002 film Frida, by Rihanna on the cover of Bitch Better Have My Money at Lady Gaga, the people who have inspired from her and from his work are many.
The image of Frida is synonymous with strength, independence, pride, suffering, resilience, femininity and feminism.
Happy Birthday Frida!
