In the 1930s, Frida Kahlo often wore–in her daily life and in her paintings–a particular costume associated with the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, consisting of a short embroidered blouse (huipil) and a long lace-fringed skirt (enagua). This tehuana costume, sometimes described as “indigenous,” is actually the product of mestizaje or cultural blending, an essential element in the construction of Mexican national identity in the post-Revolutionary period. Although partly inspired by Diego Rivera, whose own interest in tehuana culture dates to the early 1920s, Kahlo’s cross-cultural cross-dressing was also profoundly modern, following a well-established model with roots in the nineteenth century
