Today, 10:00

Many young singers and major stars drew inspiration from the creative source of singer and model Grace Jones and designer Jean-Paul Gauda. They inevitably copied the hairstyle, look, gestures, mise-en-scène, and choreography of the inimitable Jones. People considered Grace almost an alien, but the designer simply adored working with this extraordinary artist.

See what came out of the collaboration of these two talented and original people, united by their love of art.

Grace Jones's musical legacy is defined by acoustic innovation, provocative lyrics, and fearless experimentation. Her work is embodied in brilliant albums.

Jones has transformed from a singer into a true style icon, and her influence on modern pop culture might not have been so strong without the help of Jean-Paul Gouda, a French artist, illustrator, and graphic designer. They met at a party in New York in the mid-1970s. The collaboration between the two vibrant personalities resulted in a series of remarkable photographs capturing the inimitable Grace.

Jean-Paul Gaude wanted to horrify a society that considered Grace Jones's behavior outrageous and to slap the entertainment industry of the time in the face. The brilliant collaboration between these two exceptional talents became one of the most defining moments in music history. Graceful and distinctive, Grace became Gaudá's favorite muse, and these vibrant photographs are proof of his admiration and appreciation.

European artists admired beautiful and unusual women. Many famous artists' muses became sources of inspiration for the creation of world-famous masterpieces.
