In “Frida, a Biography of Frida Kahlo,” Frida Kahlo is the epitome of embodying ethnic background through style. Herrera pointed out, “She dressed in flamboyant clothes, greatly preferring floor-length native Mexican costumes to haute couture” (pg. 34). Frida was proud to flaunt her Mexican nationality, for this reason, she wore intense bold colors. The author includes, “The artist, dressed in her favorite Mexican costume, was carried on a hospital stretcher to her four-poster bed, which had been installed in the gallery that afternoon” (Herrera 1). Even though Frida was paralyzed she dressed up to flaunt her eccentric alegria. When other people saw her style choices and created turmoil, Frida continued to persevere. Her ethnic style was dauntless and chromatic, a true representation on how clothing and style is an expression of culture. Nevertheless, her hispanic origin was never hindered from the public
