Grace Jones born Beverly Grace Jones on May 19, 1948, in Spanish Town, Jamaica is an Iconic model, singer and actress.
Raised in Syracuse, New York, she found success in the 70s as a model, working in New York and Paris (where she shared an apartment with Jerry Hall and Jessica Lange), before rising to public prominence as a singer and personality.
During this period, she also became a muse to Andy Warhol, appearing in his portraits and accompanying him to Studio 54 on many occasions. Worked with Yves, Saint Laurent and Kenzo and many fashion houses.
Parallel to her musical shift was an equally dramatic visual departure; Jones – working heavily with style artist Jean-Paul Goude – adopted a severe, androgynous look that enhanced her already striking presence, the iconic cover of Nightclubbing exemplifying this new identity.
