Happiness Brand takes you on a tour of “Casa Azul”. They have reproduced the Frida Khalo’s house to show the new Womenswear and Menswear Collection ss2016, at Pitti Immagine Uomo 89, Florece.
When you go inside don’t forget to try the audio guides, available in two languages.
I’ve got this experience, and what a splendid, refreshing ideas it is!
A little while ago, not much more than a few days ago, I was a child who went about in a world of colors, of hard and tangible forms. Everything was mysterious and something was hidden, guessing what it was was a game for me.[1]
Frida Khalo, 1926
…when I had my imaginary friend I would look out of the small glass panes of the window and fill them with steam. Then, I would draw a little window and go out through it. Opposite our house, there was a milk store that was named Pinzon, and I would travel from the little window through the “o” in Pinzon, and from there into the center of the earth, where I had my friend, and we would dance and play.. .I do not remember my friend’s house, and she had no name. She was like me in age. She had no face. The truth is, I do not remember if she had a face or not, and she was very lively. I could not describe her.[2]
Frida Khalo, 1950
