Initially I wasn't too sure how to approach the project- in terms of selecting an idol. Knowing that for the next couple of months my work would be focused around them meant that I needed to be sure in myself that they would be both interesting, sustainable and relatable to the project brief. Grace Jones was an initial thought as I looked over the brief- after looking through other options to work with she became the one that I came back too each time. In terms of the All Walks specifications she embodied a new angle of age, culture and body proportion whilst simultaneously being diverse enough to allow creativity and a new point of view to be formed.
I wanted to look at Grace Jones both in primary aesthetic sense and then secondly her contextual surrounding. Using both her body and style initially as a reference point but then developing a concept from this using her career and life making the outcome potentially more interesting. Working with her as an idol has so far been productive and from the surrounding context the information i've managed to gather the project is moving forward.
