DONNA JORDAN, 1977
PHOTOGRAPHER: CHRIS VON WANGENHEIM
Warhol Superstar Donna Jordan, known as the "disco Marylin", embodies the provocative glamour of the late 1970s in this iconic portrait by legendary fashion photographer Chris von Wangenheim. Known for her fearless style and striking presence, Jordan electrifies the frame in a sequined bodysuit, platinum blonde voluminous hair, with her signature no-eyebrows look—an avant-garde choice that anticipated the bold aesthetics later embraced by artists like Lady Gaga.
Photographed in 1977, at the height of the Studio 54 and Warhol Factory era, this image captures the daring fusion of fashion, art, and nightlife that defined New York’s cultural landscape. Von Wangenheim’s sharp, cinematic style immortalizes Jordan as both muse and icon—an enduring figure of disco-era excess and fearless individuality.
Part of a celebrated series of six photographs by Chris von Wangenheim featuring Warhol Superstars Donna Jordan and Jane Forth, exhibited in "Femme Touch" at The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, 2020.
