Crews | Day 13 | Grace Jones and the First Black Supermodels

People will tell you she doesn’t make the cut.  She wasn’t a true supermodel. Too androgynous. Too loud. Not pretty enough. Her own boyfriend said she had a grotesque beauty. Boy bye.  Yet, Grace Jones somehow made it from the pews of a holiness church in Jamaica to bearing her gorgeous body on the cover of magazines and being a muse to musicians, painters, and culture makers for decades.  So, when we found a picture of Grace Jones laughing with Iman and Beverly Johnson, we knew we had to celebrate their crew of Black models.  Join us for the juice.Disclaimer: We do not own the rights to the music or speech excepts reference or played during this broadcast.
