Maripol

Legendary Polaroid artist, fashion designer, and stylist Maripol has exerted a huge influence on fashion, photography, and art for nearly 40 years. Born in France, but based in New York since the 1970s, she is renowned for her work styling and photographing iconic figures in the 1980s art scene, from Fiorucci to Marc Jacobs–and from Madonna to Grace Jones, via Basquiat, Warhol and Keith Haring. Maripol's glamour and sensuality extended across mediums–for her "Nothing was ever separated: the music, the life, the films, the writing, the poetry, the fashion, the art."


Maripol's artwork has been exhibited at venues such as Dundee Contemporary Arts, Deborah Colton Gallery in Houston, SoHo Grand Hotel in New York and Seven Star Gallery in Berlin.
