On October 20, 2019 Latinos De Corazón presented the Frida Kahlo Sustainable Fashion Show during the Rochester Memorial Art Galleries Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration. Through this project participants focused on reduce, reuse, re-purpose and recycle. The project had a historical and cultural context. The children and other participants learned about Frida Kahlo’s life from childhood and that she was a famous Mexican painter known for her own self portrait.
This project created a bridge to the past by using Frida Kahlo’s style and fusing it with other aesthetics. Models wore outfits they redesign in their own style and brought Frida from the past creating unique flower crowns resembling the ones she wore.
We use the concept of reduced by shopping in your own wardrobe, or exchanging clothing with other people. Shopping in your own wardrobe is fashion a movement that encourages consumers to take a fresh look at clothes they already have in their closet in hopes that they will rediscover garments that may not have been worn in a while. And why not modify by removing or adding with accessories and other materials.
This project also created strong bonds, it was multi-generational, grandmothers, mothers and daughters worked together. The children as well and the participants became innovators and artists, no two flower crowns are the same. The participants were exposed to sewing and learned to use stencils, made purses from old clothing, but more importantly learned to be creative so that they can transmit their knowledge to others.
