Dolly Parton, 1975

The way Mick Rock frames her here feels like the whole decade in a single glossy print, that rock-and-roll glare still jumps off the paper. Hung it in my hallway and it's gotten more comments than anything else I own.

The grain and shadow in this shot capture Mick Rock's signature grit perfectly, and the print quality makes that 1975 energy leap off the matte finish. The personal note about her being the godmother of glamour adds a warmth that makes it feel like a piece of history, not just a poster.

The print quality does justice to Mick Rock's original—her expression comes through with that perfect mix of grit and glamour, exactly as described. It's the kind of image that makes you stare a little longer every time you walk past it.
