has carved a unique, sinuous path in pop culture. As an artist, she keeps surprising her fans, less reinventing herself with every record than constantly pushing at her many talents. From the grungy waif of her band's blistering debut albumStories from the City, Stories from the Sea
, and on to her current incarnation as poet-observer of the dispossessed, Harvey is in a pop cultural league all of her own, and is possibly Bridport, Dorset's most famous export. This summer, in addition to touring the festival circuit following the release of her critically lauded ninth album,, her lyrical project with photographer Seamus Murphy based on their travels to Kosovo, Afghanistan and Washington DC, as part of the Rencontres photo festival in Arles. .
Harvey is a fearless experimenter and frequent collaborator – in addition to old friend John Parish, with whom she has co-written two albums, she has worked with Nick Cave , Marianne Faithfull, Tricky, and the producers Flood and Steve Albini, to name a few. But right from the beginning, she has kept control of her output, hollowing out her own niche within the recording industry, and working only with the people who inspire her.
Right from the start, with her unruly black hair, sombre features, and tomato red mouth, Harvey has been a magnet to fashion. Some of her earliest editorials are icons of 90s style – whether shot by Rankin in a simple white tee decorated with red lips for a 1998 issue ofcover lensed by Craig McDean. Then there are those striking photos of Harvey in a black leotard shot by Juergen Teller. Though tiny, she owns every image and makes the fashion work for her.
