Flashback Of The Week

Count on a woman whose pregnancy style became a cultural phenomenon (see her performance of Buffalo Stance on Top of the Pops) to turn out a stunner of a pregnancy portrait. Neneh Cherry- singer, rapper, style icon- embodied a new kind of pregnancy style, one defined not only by black spandex, platforms, and chunky gold jewellery, but by her spirit. One look at Andrew Catlin’s 1988 portrait of her and you realize there’s a reason this photo lives in London’s National Portrait Gallery: Neneh Cherry is a force of nature.
