Grace Jones has always been a stand-out icon, and since meeting her backstage at the MOBOs last year, my adoration has been cemented. We fought tooth and nail with her publicist for an interview, but the fierce one deigned only to pose for the cameras, vogueing for the paps hamming it up on our backstage interview set.
Luckily we can get a fresh hit of Miss Jones, as she’s gracing (sorry) the cover of the latest edition of V.
I know an iconic cover when I see one, and this killer for the new Spring issue of V magazine is sure to become an instant collector’s item, and probably reenacted in tribute in years to come.
The formidable Grace Jones commands the cover like only she can, in time for her first album in 20 years. What makes this shoot even more special is that she’s reunited with former partner, art director and photographer Jean-Paul Goude, after 25 years.
V Magazine has paid tribute with a series of newly iconic images and an intimate and emotional conversational interview between the pair.
