Grace Jones - Vogue Italy



Steven Meisel shot a series of images in an ode to Grace Jones' iconic 80's style.
"Meisel has used shadows to portray Dali-esque shapes, contrasting with spot lighting to reference the films, music videos and vibe of the late 80’s to advantage. Grace Jones epitomised the strong, powerful yet ambiguous mood of the time with women challenging their archetypal roles and more than meeting their male counterparts in the world of business. This was the introduction of the “power suit” and shoulder pads after all!" (http://www.fashion-ation.net)
I think these images are shot so perfectly, I could instantly recognise who it was, the styling is superb.
