Grace Jones

Jones’s geometric haircut and emphatic make-up make the head and shoulders part of the outfit’s architecture. Her club-era looks, including work by Thierry Mugler and Kenzo, reward attention to angles, volume and the relationship between clothing and pose. The signature survives considerable variation because the overall image remains so sharply composed. Explore a sequence of photographs rather than reducing her style to one famous look: the recurring visual strength is clearer across different clothes and settings.
