Iconic Frida. Vita, passioni e fascino in uno stile unico oltre le mode: Frida Kahlo ha ispirato la moda, l'ha sempre fatto e continua a essere un punto di riferimento per fashion designer, che trovano nel suo abbigliamento uno stimolo creativo per reinventare il passato. L'abito è per Frida espressione della sua identità, una maschera per esorcizzare il dolore e anche un mezzo per comunicare messaggi politici e d'amore. Con il suo vestito tradizionale messicano Frida costruisce una seconda pelle, una nuova tela su cui incidere con forza i suoi valori, il desiderio di centralità della donna e dell'artista nella società contemporanea. La forza del suo stile "oltre le mode" affascina inevitabilmente il mondo del glamour, come testimoniato dall'ampia selezione presentata in questo libro di abiti e collezioni a lei ispirate, dagli anni Trenta a oggi.
