Biography[edit]
Formative years[edit]
In 1981, together with her dear friend, the late Judy Blame, Cannon started the Cha Cha Club in the back bar at London's trailblazing gay club Heaven. Before long, she was treading runways for Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier, covering Vogue Italia and i-D, and appearing in the pages of Blitz magazine itself. In the years that followed, the model became a muse for countless creatives, including Derek Ridgers, Nick Knight, Iain R Webb, Derek Jarman and Gareth Pugh.[1]
Additionally to being one of the key style icons and muses during the emergence of London Blitz Kids, in the 1990s Cannon regularly participated in Untamed Fashion Assembly a radical fashion festival in 90s Latvia where the avant-garde reigned.[2]

Style and beauty[edit]
With a shock of peroxide blonde hair and a strikingly unusual profile, Cannon considered herself an ‘ongoing changeable sculpture’ and morphed from a modern-day Jean Harlow to a conceptual human depiction of the New York skyline from one week to the next.[1]
In an 2019 interview for lifestyle Dazed magazine [1] she said “My style hasn’t changed a huge amount. I still love colour and wearing bright things, and every now and then I wear my skirts a bit shorter than is generally acceptable for a woman of 56, but I don’t care because why should I?”
Scarlettstyleicon (sic) legacy[edit]
In 2020 James Lawler and Martin Green of Duovision, whose work focuses on undervalued artists working extensively with the LGBT creative community, curated exhibition Scarlett Woman in Liverpool. It brought together a series of artists, creatives, and collaborators to exhibit old and new pieces in celebration of Cannon’s extraordinary legacy.[1] Scarlett Woman short video montage.
Contemporary art correspondent Louisa Buck on the opening of Scarlett Woman referred to Cannon as a gender-bending 1980s muse [3] and DJ and Culture Club singer Boy George is captured irreverently bobbing out his tongue as he stands next to his iconic portrait of Cannon.
Also in 2020 in a tribute to Cannon's dear friend, the late Judy Blame, the oulogy cites an amazing archive magazine spread of Cannon.[4]
