October 23, 1984 marked the release of Janet Jackson’s second studio album, entitled Dream Street. On the album, Jackson was photographed wearing one of her most iconic ‘80s outfits.
The edgy looks consisted of a blue leather motorcycle jacket and red chain link gloves. This grungy outfit highlighted Jackson’s versatility when it came to fashion, as throughout the decade, she rocked styles ranging from elegant and feminine to dramatic and edgy.
Jackson’s Dream Street album cover photoshoot took place in Los Angeles, California, in 1984. The cover photo was taken by photographer Harry Langdon. The photographic style and choice of Langdon helped position her within the contemporary pop/R&B landscape of the mid-1980s.
