Frida: Now found on your shoes and in your tequila | Uncovering Mexico

This is pretty sad

Frida: Now found on your shoes and in your tequila
The commercialization of Frida Kahlo is now complete: You can wear the works of the iconic Mexican painter on your shoes, as Converse has released a Frida Kahlo line of its Chuck Taylors. There are three styles to choose from, “The Two Fridas,” “Feet for Those I Love,” and simply, “Frida Kahlo!” The shoes, featuring the painter’s image, signature and snippets of her more famous paintings, are available throughout Mexico and are going for about $80 a pop on Mexico City’s trendiest avenue.


Though I think Dali would have done it in a heartbeat.
