General info :
Jean-Paul Goude (born 8 December 1938, Montreuil, France) is a French graphic designer, illustrator, photographer and advertising film director.

He worked as art director at Esquire magazine in New York City during the 1970s, and choreographed the 1989 Bicentennial Parade in Paris to mark the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. In addition, over the last three decades, he has created campaigns and illustrations for brands including Perrier, Citroën, Kodak, Chanel, Kenzo, Shiseido, Cacharel, H&M, Galeries Lafayette and Desigual.

Jean-Paul Goude was born on 8 December 1938 to an American ballet dancer, and a French elevator repairman, and grew up in the Paris suburb of Saint-Mande. According to his book Jungle Fever, the most notable characteristic that Goude acknowledged in his childhood self was a fascination with Aboriginal and black people. The vast majority of his models are black women.

Goude's mother exposed him to different forms of print media. "At home, we received American magazines," Goude told Vogue magazine. "The advertising, in the 1960s, was extraordinary. The first time an issue of Esquire arrived with a cover by George Lois, I said to myself, that's what I want to do." He studied at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in Paris before embarking on his career as an illustrator.

In 1968, Harold Hayes, editor of Esquire magazine, asked Goude to art direct a special edition of the magazine to celebrate its 75th issue. Several months later, Goude was asked to become the magazine's full-time art editor, despite having limited experience working with layouts.

Throughout his career, Goude associated with numerous models.[18] Goude dated several of these muses, including Farida Khelfa,[19] and, most notably, Grace Jones.

Goude's relationship with Jones began in 1977, when Jones asked Goude for advice in creating album artwork and music videos. As his muse, Grace Jones figured prominently in Goude's work. Goude has a son, Paulo (b. 12 November 1979), with Grace Jones.
He has another son, Theo, and a daughter, Loreleï, with his wife Karen Park Goude.
