NOSTALGIA

Latina in my veins. 
Frida Khalo

This image represents a traditional Spain, which fills me with nostalgia as I am overpowered with the red roses, sultry lips and the detailed accessories. 

The pearl and cone necklace represent the combination of feminism and passion, all in one piece, or one woman. The Frida Khalo brooch experiments with different patterns and textures, for any and every woman. The braid represents rooted traditional values, in the modern woman. 

We have seen an explosion of experimental braiding within fashion, renewing traditional techniques with a modern day twist.  The Alexandre McQueen 2011 Spring/Summer show is a great example of this, where models had their hair transformed into woven wonders.
