Young Frida Women's Bomber Jacket

Two years ago I designed the Young Frida scarf, and this season I'm excited to expand Obelisk's Young Frida collection to include this bold, rococo-revival bomber jacket. A striking portrait of a 12 year old Frida Kahlo is wreathed in flowers by Rachel Ruysch and insects by Maria Sibylla Merian. From a photograph taken by her father Guillermo Kahlo, we see young Frida six years after she contracted crippling polio and six years before the bus accident that would force her to grapple with the chronic pain that haunted the rest of her life and work. Even at 12, with a wild, tragic, brilliant life ahead of her, there's a deep intensity and reserve in these eyes.
