If you happen to find yourself across the pond this summer, pay a visit to 'Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up' at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

The unconventional&nbsp;Mexican artist,&nbsp;Frida Kahlo, was one of the most influential painters of the twentieth century&nbsp;thanks to her artworks, outspoken political views, and striking personality. Not to mention that&nbsp;she was and still is a veritable style icon, with her eclectic taste, love of color, artistic prints and striking jewelry being a source of inspiration for many designers. Since her death in 1954, Kahlo&#39;s impressive wardrobe&nbsp;remained hidden from the public for almost fifty years until it was taken in by a Mexican museum in 2004.

This exhibition at the renown Victoria &amp;&nbsp;Albert Museum&nbsp;in London&nbsp;marks&nbsp;the first time that&nbsp;Frida&nbsp;Kahlo&#39;s clothing collection and personal objects will be exhibited outside of Mexico. It&nbsp;reveals how the artist&#39;s style developed over the years and how she managed to unite Mexican and Western influences. If you happen to be in the region, discover&nbsp;more than two hundred pieces&nbsp;ranging from clothing, jewelry, the artificial leg that she designed in the form of a red lace-up boot with a wedge heel&nbsp;after her leg was amputated in 1953, to&nbsp;the iconic eyebrow pencil with which she tended to her famous brows.
