And what a historic image this is. Andy Warhol introduced Grace Jones and Keith Haring in the mid-eighties.

"For this photograph Jones' body has been painted by the New York graffiti artist, Keith Haring with his characteristic pictograms and decorations. She is also wearing an exotic headdress and a conical wire bra, so that she looks like a voodoo doll or an aboriginal dancer." [caption from Tate.org]

Photography by Robert Mapplethorpe from 1984.
