Re-make/Re-model: Art, Pop, Fashion and the making of Roxy Music, 1953-1972 - Tapa dura

"Re-make/Re-model" recounts the story of the individuals and circumstances that would lead over a period of almost twenty years to the formation of Roxy Music - a group in which art, fashion and music would combine to create in the words of its inventor, Bryan Ferry, 'above all, a state of mind'. Written with the assistance of all those involved, "Re-make/Re-model" is also the account of how Pop Art, the avant garde underground of the 1960s, and the heady slipstream of London during that decade were transformed into the fashion cults of revivalism, nostalgia and pop futurism in the early 1970s.

Michael Bracewell is the author of six novels and two works of non fiction, including the much acclaimed England Is Mine. His writing has appeared in The Penguin Book of Twentieth-Century Fashion Writing and The Faber Book of Pop. He is also a Turner Prize judge for 2007.
