In 1954, just after her death, Frida Kahlo's belongings were locked away in the Casa Azul in Mexico City, the "blue house" where she had lived all her life.
Half a century later, her collection of clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, and other personal items was found in trunks, wardrobes, drawers, the bathroom, and the basement of Casa Azul.
The exhibition at the Palais Galliera, which opened in September 2002, and was first presented in Mexico between 2012 and 2014, and then in 2018 at the V&A Museum in London, offers a new perspective on the story of this extraordinary artist, whose charisma and incredible sense of style and staging continue to captivate. The book shows her wardrobe, her traditional Mexican clothing, and her famous self-portraits: an unprecedented combination that illustrates the unique journey of one of the world's most famous artists, a true icon.
The catalogue is an adaptation of the very successful catalogue created by the V&A.
