Now Stardoll is releasing Kahlo inspired clothes to celebrate the iconic style of this amazing artist! Here’s your chance to come play in the world and the wardrobe of a truly original talent who has become one of the most famous art and fashion icons in the world. From her brutally honest self-portraits to her to her radical politics, this artist wasn’t interested in living by conventional rules. Frida Kahlo’s style was very much a performance: it worked as both a statement of pride in indigenous Mexican culture and as a camouflage for her own physical ailments. While powdered, pale and painted was the beauty norm – Frida went her own way. She played up her famously dramatic features—with ink black hair center parted and slicked into a bun and thick "bird wing" eyebrows arching over her magnetic dark eyes. The same beautifully aggressive approach informed her personal style of dressing. The fashions of the day were often dainty and demure - Kahlo dressed instead in color-soaked Mexican traditional blouses and skirts. She adopted much of her costume from the matriarchal community of southern Mexico’s Tehuana region – with a look so strong and graphic that it continues to inspire designers and photographers across the world. Come be inspired by this amazing artist now in Starplaza... Take me to Starplaza!
