Congratulations to Modern on the opening of Frida: The Making of an Icon. I can’t wait to visit, learn more about her extraordinary life, admire precious objects and paintings I haven’t seen before, and immerse myself once again in Frida’s world. Who knows, it may even inspire a new collection!
To celebrate the opening of the exhibition, I thought I’d share a few of my jewellery designs inspired by Frida. She has always been a constant source of inspiration for me, bringing me so much joy and a good luck that I’ve affectionately nicknamed her my Santa Frida.
I’m so grateful that our Frida is here in the UK once again so we can celebrate her remarkable life and legacy together.
