#TBT Jody Watley in signature jumbo hoop earrings and Azzedine Alaia top and leggings from People Magazine in 89 — I intended to post while the Rio Olympics were going on.. I still love gymnastics and wanted to say congrats to all of the athletes who competed whether winning or not and to those who also made history. Work hard, go toward your dreams and believe in yourself – anything is possible! #life

“..making a substantial dent in the annuals of pop history..” – Harper’s Bazaar, Jody Watley 1988 photographed by legendary Francesco Scavullo.

“The label at the time didn’t want to pay the fare for the trip to New York, not understanding how appearing in a fashion magazine would help sell records or raise the artists profile..but I knew, so I paid for the trip myself. It wouldn’t be long before labels would soon get it. I was familiar with the work of Scavullo because he’d photographed one of my inspirations growing up Diana Ross and I was an avid reader of VOGUE from childhood because my Mom always bought it. ” – Jody Watley
