Inspired by famed Mexican painter Frida Kahlo de Rivera, who was known as much for her singular look as she was for her art, the photo series starring Joanna Simeonidis by Marjolein Audrey Banis boasts her signature unibrow and affinity for floral fashion. In fact, if it wasn't for the occasional modern touch such as a tailored blazer and patterned tights, the photoshoot would look like it was unearthed from Frida's personal belongings. Each image has been given a roughened aesthetic, which the photographer says is a result of being "postprocessed [...] in [her] handbag."
The photo series starring Joanna Simeonidis by Marjolein Audrey Banis was styled by Carolina Pestman with hair by Yvonne Bloedbeld-Irvine and makeup by Anika Roelink.
