Grace Jones celebrates her 75th birthday.
Born in Jamaica, the extraordinarily gifted model, singer, actress and fashion muse has lived a colorful lifestyle, breaking boundaries in the entertainment and fashion industries. From her walk for Patrick Kelly, the collaboration with Keith Haring and Studio 54, she has given a long list of others reasons to believe in their dreams. With her fierce aesthetics, music and fashion ideas, she loudly questioned the restrictive conventions of sexuality and beauty and in her own way, reshaped them. Being the muse to many fashion brands, Grace Jones was and will continually remain a trailblazer in the entertainment and fashion industries.
