I REALLY ADORE FRIDA KAHLO. SHE IS A COMPLEX, DEEPLY EMOTIONAL, AND DEEPLY THINKING WOMAN WITH WHOM I FEEL GREAT EMPATHY. HER AMBIVALENCE ABOUT HER IDENTITY AND HER SADNESS OVER NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN PENETRATE HER WORK, AND GIVE HER PAINTINGS THEIR SOLEMN BEAUTY. EVEN HER REAL LIFE MIRRORED HER ART - IT HAD A MAGICAL AND POETIC SURREALNESS TO IT. LATELY I HAVE BEEN REALLY INTO MEXICAN CULTURE AND THE MYSTICISM PREVALENT IN MEXICAN ART, LITERATURE, AND FILM. I WATCHED LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND IT MADE ME WANT TO PUT ON MY PURPLE MEXICAN DRESS I GOT AT THE FLEA MARKET YEARS AGO AND GO TO MEXICO FOR A WEEK. I WANT TO EAT TORTILLAS AND DRINK HORCHATA AND CALL IT A DAY ON WINTER IN THE CITY.
THIS EDITORIAL WAS SHOT BY KARL LAGERFELD FOR VOGUE GERMANY, FEATURING CLAUDIA SCHIFFER AS FRIDA KAHLO AND STYLED BY CHRISTIANE ARP. THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T THINK KARL LAGERFELD KNOWS CRAP ABOUT THE KIND OF WOMAN FRIDA KAHLO WAS, BECAUSE HE'S JUST AN ANOREXIC OLD QUEEN THAT PLACES NO VALUE ON THE LIFE OF THE SOUL AND HAS NO UNDERSTANDING OF WOMEN AS ANYTHING MORE THAN HANGERS FOR HIS EGO.
