Vogue Mexico: Frida Kahlo

The November issue of Vogue Mexico came with a couple of surprises, first the Vogue Hombre F/W 2012 issue then a special edition issue dedicated to the one an only Frida Kahlo. In this VERY well done magazine they explained step by step how her art and way of living influenced her personal style. Then the reader is taken into this time travel experience where photographs, paintings and poems make the essence of Frida come to live.

This special edition of Vogue Mexico (with the iconic cover of Frida Kahlo for Vogue Paris shot by Nickolas Muray, 1939) is just the intro to an exhibition called  ”Los Vestidos de Frida Kahlo” (The dresses of Frida Kahlo). The first exhibition in the world that shows the entire closet of the Artist. This exhibition is taken place at La Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo’s old residence in Coyoacan, Mexico City.

The exhibition opened last night and a side from showing her garments, visitors will also be able to see Haute Couture garments from Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci and Jean-Paul Gaultier, among others.

YSL presents: “SheMale”

Androgyny is taken to the next level for menswear by the eye of designer Hedi Slimane and the interpretational skills of model Saskia de Brauw for the SS13 Yves Saint Laurent menswear ad campaign. With a punk rock / mod influence we are able to see how the boundaries of sexuality have reached a new level, giving men a softer and slimmer look with a tough attitude.

An other interesting fact about this collection is that all items will be available for both men and women, making this the first unisex collection of YSL. The entire campaign was also shot “all natural”, which means no make up was used on the model giving her a rough look.

As summer has come to an end…

So has my time at FIDM and living in LA.

After two tough years of non-stop work I can finally say that I am officially a FIDM Alumni, however, I am going to miss walking around the school and seeing the Juicy Couture wall…

 

 … the cool and fun homeworks …

 

… dressing up everyday and being around people who also enjoy fashion …

 

… the V-Com windows …

 

… the FIDM food  …

 

… the cafeteria and the fashion videos that they play …

 

… watching TV shows and movies being filmed in DTLA …

 

… but I think the most important thing that I got out of FIDM was the physical and spiritual evolution that I was able to make during these two years and understanding myself even more …

 

with ups and downs FIDM was definitely a life changing experience.

FIDM’s official theme song lol.

Fresh and Chic in the LA summer.
