BLITZ AD
In august 1980,  photographer Graham Hughes was commissioned to produce this poster for Foster Grant sunglasses.  In search of suitably weird subjects,  he went down to Hell ( the club, that is) one night, where about thirty aspiring models were selected for a casting session.  Only three finally made it to the shoot ( the rest are professional models).  On the far righ,  apparently rehearsing for a Schweppes ad,  is Steve Strange.  On the far left and looing moody is film-maker and artist John Maybury.  And making sure that his lip-gloss is just right is none other than Marilyn in his former incarnation.
