Major project - initial ideas
My initial idea is to be inspired by Frida Kahlo.
This icon has always inspired me a lot, her life story is incredible and there is so much to pick up when talking about this best one. Her culture, her clothing, her story, her art, etc.
About her:
Artist Frida Kahlo was considered one of Mexico's greatest artists who began painting mostly self-portraits after she was severely injured in a bus accident. Kahlo later became politically active and married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera in 1929. She exhibited her paintings in Paris and Mexico before her death in 1954.References: biography / Frida Kahlo, feb 28 2018 https://www.biography.com/artist/frida-kahlo

My second Idea
Then, I thought I could be inspired by denim, It's a fabric with a long history and a really interesting one. Denim is also a great fabric, it´s resistant and beautyful for taking pictures.
About denim:
Jeans are pants made from denim or dungaree cloth. They were invented by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss in 1873 and a worn still but in a different context. Jeans are named after the city of Genoa in Italy, a place where cotton corduroy, called either jean or jeane, was manufactured. Levi Strauss came from Germany to New York in 1851 to join his older brother who had a dry goods store.References: History of jeans http://www.historyofjeans.com/
