Style finds us in peculiar places and will tap your shoulder when you least expect it. Today, style shot me a coquettish glance through the mysterious gaze of Chantal Goya.
With her blunt fringed bob and gamine features, Chantal Goya quickly became the poster girl for Nouvelle Vague, playing Madeleine in Godard's chef- d'oeuvre "Masculin Feminin". She brought a sharp female dynamic to an iconic portrait of modernising France which embraced, yet wholly resented, american influence in Parisian sub-cultured yé-yé years
Capturing a crucial period of unfulfillment prior to the riots of 68, Godard stirs a restless melange of sex, pop and revolution to set alight the passion of a disgruntled youth. As a phoenix from the flames, Goya rose from Godard's blaze to establish herself as an artist with credible commitment to creative mediums such as film, song and fashion.
Besetting influence upon modern icons such as Leigh Lezark, Chantal Goya lends an obscure intrigue to contemporary interpretations of her signature hairstyle and sensualised mod injections. Despite making a ridiculously camp foray into the world of children's entertainment, Goya maintains refreshing integrity via a legacy that inspired an era of intimate social and personal awakening.
"It didn't matter if girls like Chantal Goya couldn't really sing or didn't have perfect diction. They really could ride the beat with their voices,"
