One of the most influential female artist of her time is Frida Kahlo. She was married with Diego Rivera who is also a Mexican painter and influenced her to paint. Frida Kahlo is an unusual painter, she mostly painted self-portraits and her emotional status that captivates the curiosity of the art enthusiasts around the world. Her work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and indigenous traditions, and by feminists for what is seen as its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.

But what makes Frida Kahlo more special aside from her paintings? Her Fashion sense. Frida’s fashion was inspired by Mexican popular culture and folk art style. She is not only expressing her thoughts and feelings in paintings but also in fashion. If Frida was born in this generation, she might be a blogger or a magazine editor or maybe a model with Cara Delevingne (because they both have “on fleek eyebrows!”), but it’s okay because she is an Icon now and here are the 5 things Frida has taught us about fashion:

It’s OK not to fix your eyebrow!

One of the iconic symbol of Frida Kahlo was her monobrow. Yes it’s weird but it looks good to her, and if thick and bushy eyebrows was on trend because of Cara Delevingne and Lily Collins, this might be a new thing on the next few years of fashion. (or maybe bald eyebrow will be a new thing? NO WAY!)

Put Something in your Hair Girl!

Frida is also known for her fancy hair accessories. Sometimes she wears turban, sometimes she braid her hair, sometimes with flower crown. Flower crown? yes, flower crown! Is also trending in 1930’s to 1950’s because of Frida Kahlo.

Maxi Dress is life!

Because of her polio, she wears fancy maxi dress to hide her legs and this becomes her statement. And it looks like maxi dress is also in trend this season (wells it’s always in trend every summer and spring and we should try it because duh! look at Frida she’s so fancy!)

Look like Men so Men looks at you.

Way back in her high school life, Frida studied in a university wherein she is the first female student, and at that time she wears like a man to belong with her colleagues and a gang group that compose of mostly men.

Sometimes you need to experience the word “Maximalist”!

I know minimalist is a new thing for millennial but sometimes it makes our life boring and less creative (I will discuss this on my next blog post). Sometimes it’s okay to break the minimalist rule especially in fashion, and let yourself be more creative and expressive like Frida. Trust me it will change your mood and life! I believe that if you are not born to be minimalist you will never be a minimalist. Don’t try hard and embrace Maximalist!

Viva La Vida Frida Kahlo!
