VINTAGE 70S EMPIREWAIST EARTHA KITT COSTUME GRACE JONES, VINTAGE 70s EMPIRE WAIST EARTHA KITT/ GRACE JONES HALLOWEEN COSTUME
Grace Jones' masculine attire, height (5' 10½" (1.79 m) and manner was a clear influence on the 'power dressing' movement of the 1980s. She would also exemplify the "Flat Top", a late 80’s popular hairstyle for African Americans, in which she displayed on the cover of her first non disco 1980 album Warm Leatherette. She maintained parallel recording and acting careers, and modeling work often overshadowed her musical output. Her strong visual presence extended to her concert tours. In her performances, she adopted various personas and wore outlandish costumes, particularly during her years with Goude. One such performance was at the Paradise Garage in 1985, wherein she collaborated with visual artist Keith Haring for her costume. Haring painted her body in tribal patterns and fitted her with wire armor.[7] The muralist also painted her body for the video to "I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect for You)".
