A New Frida Kahlo Inspired Shirt

October 21, 2007 | History lesson, New Designs

Frida Kahlo is a source of inspiration for me, both her vibrantly-hued, emotionally-charged Surrealist paintings (55 of which were self portraits) as well as her ability to overcome such extreme obstacles throughout her lifetime. So it is only fitting that there are several liliputians designs directly inspired by this famous painter.

Our newest shirt design is an homage to Frida, with a multi-layered and detailed applique depicting her self portrait in traditional Mexican dress with pet monkey, a heart milagro and tropical flowers (including a ribbon rose accent in her hair which gives the applique a 3-dimensional aspect). The shirt is available in girls and women sizes and can be made on a variety of shirt colors (white, black, chocolate brown, pink, light blue or lavender).  Many more Frida inspired designs in the liliputians boutique.

“I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.” – Frida Kahlo
