2004 Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo's wardrope was found in a trunk in an unused bathroom in 2004, with an exhibition following in 2006. The book (Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress: The Fashion of Frida Kahlo: Frida's Wardrobe, Chronicle Books 2008) not only includes a discussion of the ethnic dress that inspired her choices but also provides details on the restoration process.
