Product Description
During the early eighties New Yorks Lower East Side was a hotbed of creative activity. Unknown artists were synthesizing the fertile ground at the legendary New York nightclubs Studio 54, the Mudd Club, Club 57, Palladium, and Danceteria while on their way to international fame and acclaim. Among those emerging were Madonna, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grace Jones, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Vincent Gallo, Anna Sui, Exene Cervenka, Kid Creole, and Diego Cortez, among many others. Maripol was part of a collective of artists, graffiti writers, street dancers, and performers who all thrived together in the explosive downtown eccentricity. As an image maker and stylist for Madonna during her "Like a Virgin" days, jewelry designer, art director, and producer Maripol relentlessly documented the movers and shakers of the early eighties scene through the lens of her instant Polaroid SX-70. Collected for the first time in Maripolarama, Maripols photographs vividly depict the extraordinary personalities that inhabited the "forever" hip, arty Manhattan clubland during the post-punk era when hip hop was in its earliest stages and graffiti covered the landscape. Whether its Andy Warhol, Debbie Harry, Basquiat, or Madonna modeling a bright pink wig, Maripolarama provides lively and inspiring insight into a time long gone.

New York downtown alive September 5, 2008
Maripol's book is amazing look at downtown New York City's underground scene during the 1980's.
Early 80s fashion fans utopia... January 4, 2007
This book is an amazing insight into the New York fashion scene in the early eighties. With so many stars looking fabulous either before they were famous or just as their celebrity careers were about to take off.
Madonna, Debbie Mazar, the B52s, Blondie and Grace Jones are just a few of the familiar faces in the hundreds of personal and candid Polaroid shots that innovative stylist, Maripol took at that magical time and place in fashion history.
I have always said that if i could go back in time to any one time or place in history i would have gone to NY in the late 70s early 80s... this book has only increased my desire.
I would highly recommned this book to fans of 80s pop culture, lovers of 70s/80s fashion and styling, Madonna fans (for the rare Madonna pics) and anyone who ever fell in love with New York.
