Description

Born in 1948 in Kingston, Jamaica, Grace Jones grew up in a family of ministers before moving to the United States. She launched a career as a model in New York City, gaining fame as the cover girl for publications such as Vogue and Elle. Her flamboyant look made her a hit on the New York City nightclub circuit, leading to a recording contract and a substantial following among gay men. Jones's career took her to Paris in 1970, where she became a fixture on the fashion scene, dominating the runways of designers like Yves St. Laurent and befriending the likes of Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld. She also became the muse for artist Jean-Paul Goude and shared an apartment with Jerry Hall and Jessica Lange. As the 1980s dawned, Jones shifted her focus to new wave and experimental-based work, showcasing her unique voice and style. In her memoir, Grace Jones takes readers on a journey from her early life in Jamaica to her heyday in Paris and New York, and on to her current work in London. Along the way, she shares stories of her personal life, including her relationships and her experiences as a woman in the entertainment industry.
