Footnotes

These drawings were executed by Wangechi Mutu in 2001 as part of a commission to create watercolor storyboard illustrations and the styling for a photoshoot for a fashion lookbook featuring pioneer, innovator, and dance music legend Crystal Waters.

Fashion photographer Jason Mickle interpreted the artist's watercolors through the lens of his camera creating the shots seen in the lookbook at the Giraffe Hotel in New York. Jason Mickle was also used by Crystal Waters for the cover shoot of her song 'Come on Down'.
