Jordan Mooney: Defying Gravity, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The image of Jordan in her white shards of beehive and Mondrian make-up
remains one of the most iconic in pop history. Yet few truly understood what
was happening behind those watchful eyes when anarchy hit the UK.
How did a ballet-obsessed girl from sleepy Sussex journey through the
clandestine gay clubs of Brighton and London to arrive at 430 King's Road, the
epicenter of punk? How did she help shape a cultural revolution, navigate the
harsh glare of the spotlight at such a young age, and share wild adventures with
the likes of McLaren and Westwood, The Sex Pistols, Adam and the Ants, Derek
Jarman, and Andy Warhol--before vanishing from view?
This Remastered edition, published in the wake of Jordan's passing in 2022,
celebrates her extraordinary legacy. Featuring commentary from key players
including Vivienne Westwood, Paul Cook, Marco Pirroni, Holly Johnson, and
her partner behind the SEX/Seditionaries counter, Michael Collins, it offers
unparalleled insight into Jordan's life. Enhanced with images by Simon Barker,
Sheila Rock, and Harri Peccinotti, Defying Gravity cements Jordan's place as one
of punk's true trailblazers.
