    Frida Kahlo was one of the most influential Mexican painters of the middle 20th century. At the ArtCenter in Miami Beach, delicious sangria and gourmet Mexican snacks were served by foodie Betsy Mullins as we stood in a packed room and listened to lecturer Armando Droulers speak about Frida's life of love, passion and pain. Frida's work is incredible, her paintings are mostly self portraits, and as she put it, "I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality." One of Frida's very notable characteristics was the way she looked, groomed and dressed. Never wanting to remove her facial hair and accentuating her eyebrows in her paintings, she's known for her folkloric Mexican Tehuana costume, her hair dressings, and her original jewelry, all which have served as inspiration to many designers. Check out my slideshow for Frida's fashion and work, and see how she has inspired so many of us.
