Frida Kahlo remains one of the most popular artists of our timesales of Frida books number into the hundreds ofthousandsand yet no volume has ever focused on one of the most memorable aspects of her persona and creativeoeuvre: her wardrobe. Now, for the first time, 95 original and beautifully staged photographs of Kahlo's newly restored clothing are paired with historic photos of the artist wearing them and her paintings in which the garments appear. Frida's life and style were an integral part of her art, and she is long overdue for recognition as a fashion icon.

Ritual Beauty paints a portrait of social, political and religious life in the ancient Americas, the setting in which these exceptional works of art were created. An overview of the PreColumbian world prior to European contact by Joanne Stuhr is followed by essays on Mesoamerican and Andean cultures, shamanism, and textile arts that contribute important scholarship from eminent experts in the field: Peter T. Furst, Margaret Young Sánchez, and Marta Turok. The volume is richly illustrated and annotated with artifacts from both Mesoamerica and the Andean region and the readable and informative essays are suitable for the layperson as well as the scholar.

El camino trazado por la urdimbre y la trama que se entrecruzan en el acompasado movimiento del tejendero, el paciente entrelazado de los hilos por las empuntadoras y el sentido que esta prenda adquiere cuando se le agrega la personalidad de quien lo porta son solo algunos de los momentos en la vida de un rebozo; todos ellos constituyen el entramado de una prenda de importancia nacional. 
The path traced by the warp and weft to intersect in the rhythmic motion of tejendero, the patient interlacing of threads by the empuntadoras and the sense that this piece becomes when you add the personality of the holder are just some of the moments in the life of a shawl, all of which constitute the fabric of an article of national importance.
