In 1977, fashion illustrator and photographer Antonio Lopez captured a series of Polaroids of Divine, the larger-than-life drag performer and underground film star best known for collaborations with director John Waters. Taken during a vibrant era in New York’s fashion and nightlife scene, these instant photos reflect Lopez’s fascination with bold personalities who blurred boundaries of art, style, and identity.
The Polaroids reveal Divine not only as a camp icon but also as a muse for Lopez, whose eye for dramatic presence and unconventional beauty helped define the energy of the late 1970s. Together, the artist and performer embodied a spirit of creativity, excess, and liberation that continues to resonate in both fashion and queer culture.
