Blue-Black in Black on Brown

I was scrolling the internet at the gym yesterday when I came across an interesting item. No, I wasn’t looking at men online. It was article in The Economist about the relationship between Grace Jones and Giorgio Armani. Grace was a pioneer in the collaboration of singers and fashion houses. Grace attended Armani’s 1981 Fall/Winter Samurai fashion show. The show was a critical, but not, commercial success. Grace contacted the Armani office in Milan seeking access to the garments. The garments were perfect for Grace. So perfect she wore one of the jackets on the cover of her Nightclubbing album. Who knew you could read about Grace Jones, an icon in my life, in The Economist?
