Scarlett Cannon, an original Blitz Kid, will be offering her take on that time. Unlike today’s Instagram culture, where highly-sexualized uniformity and pornification are encouraged. Cannon has a unique, idiocyncratic profile.
With a shock of peroxide blonde hair, Cannon considers herself an ‘ongoing changeable sculpture’ transforming herself from a modern-day Jean Harlow to a conceptual human depiction of the New York skyline. Before long, the one-time hairdresser was treading runways for Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier, cover star for Vogue Italia and i-D, and in the pages of Blitz magazine. The model became a muse for countless creatives, including Derek Ridgers, Nick Knight, Iain R Webb, Derek Jarman, Gareth Pugh, and the late Judy Blame.
Cultural Traffic Arts Fair is a roving global platform hosting artists, independent and experimental publishers together with dealers of vintage books, ephemera and pop culture in venues that provide access to culture and creativity for the whole community.
