Homage to Frida Kahlo

"I paint self-portraits because I am the person I know best. I paint my own reality. "

 

Feminist, muse and probably one of the most famous and inspirational female artists of all time, Frida Kahlo painted over 70 self-portraits (which kinda makes her the selfie superstar of her time).

Frida transformed herself into a living work of art. Her paintings were a biography of her life, her feelings, her pain, her love, her family, and were inspired by her experiences; some happy and some tragic.

 

 

Being all about women-who-wear-the-pants ourselves, there was no doubt we were going to pay tribute to this legend.

Our first upcycled vintage collection launched in Spring 2018 was dedicated to Frida Kahlo. Mixing vintage second-hand authentic denim jackets with Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits, the jackets we’ve created are true to her eclectic personal style.

Our Frida series has 7 different jackets, each unique and with a different design. A portrait of Frida was printed on the back on each jacket, and the details such as the Mexican prints, floral hair accessories and Mexican environment were sequin-embellished by hand, making these jackets masterpieces that truly pay tribute to her and her work.
