GREAT DUO-JAY Z & BEYONCÉ as JEAN MICHEL BASQUIAT & FRIDA KAHLO (BROOKLYN BOYS-JZ&JMB)

Vivi-Mari Carpelan and Martin Herbert as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera Nowadays you can hear almost all female art lovers call Frida Kahlo (July 6, 1907 - 13 July 1954) their primary model and example. Confessing colours and joining the throngs of admirers almost seems like a cliche. I discovered Frida in Paris in 1991 about ten years after she was rediscovered. There was a time when I seriously began to wonder if I had any direct connection to her because there were so many similarities…

When she died, her husband Diego Rivera ordered her clothes be locked up for 15 years. When Diego passed three years later, a philanthropist, art collector and old friend of the couple, Dolores Olmedo became the manager of their houses. She kept all of Kahlo's belongings secretly guarded under lock

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Frida loved colors and flowers in her hair. Find an embroidered top, layer on your jewelry, add a shawl and long skirt. Draw in your unibrow and maybe a tiny lil mustache shade. Diego had a big ol belly, so if you don't have one stuff in a pillow, with a short tie, and high water pants!
