Frida, by Sébastien Perez & Benjamin Lacombe (Rizzoli / Albin Michel 2016)

Frida is no longer just the name of an artist who once lived in Mexico: she represents a world, a culture, a myth, a symbol of her country and time. And this book is a perfect reinterpretation of her art, filtered by the gaze of an illustrator who was able to express its dramatic and vital intensity. Flowers are a constant element in Frida Kahlo's iconography, so much so that if we think of her, the image that comes to mind portrays her with her head adorned with wreaths of roses, dahlias, and other exuberant corollas. The same flowers that she cultivated with love in her garden, that are referenced in many of her works and continue to inspire styles and trends to this day.

The charming dress by Paade Mode is covered entirely with flowers in shades of red, one of Frida's most beloved colors

I am passionate about children’s literature, art, design, fashion, illustration, theater, and anything that can spark the imagination. I became a journalist for the love of stories. I like meeting people, listening to them, and writing about them. You can read me in the pages of Style Piccoli or the colored clouds of my blog Spinginuvole (www.spinginuvole.it), a crossroads of stories, projects, and ideas. If I am not reading, writing, or cooking tarts, you are sure to find me in the mountains, where I am working on the new edition of the children’s literary festival Un Ponte di Storie (www.unpontedistorie.it)
