Amazing Grace

Like most acts that haven't seen light of day since 1989, Grace Jones is being heralded as the latest fashion icon. Though in all fairness, her trademark quirky angular looks and flamboyant but perfectly appropriate dress sense, make her more qualified than most. At last September's London Fashion Week designers were quick to ask Ms Jones to grace their shows. She modelled hats in the middle of Bond Street for milliner Philip Treacy and got a much sought-after front row seat at Alexander McQueen's catwalk show. To copy Grace's glamorous, androgynous look team smart netted hats and long satin gloves with sharp mannish suits.
