Description
By Jordan Mooney, with Cathi Unsworth
from Omnibus website :With her white beehive and Mondrian make-up, Jordan’s look helped shape a revolution on the King’s Road and has become an iconic part of pop culture. With commentary from key players, including Vivienne Westwood, Paul Cook and her partner behind the SEX counter Michael Collins, Defying Gravity is the revealing story of a life at the eye of punk’s storm.
Icon, muse, catalyst and the most recognisable female face of punk, Jordan was described as the first Sex Pistol by Derek Jarman, Jon Savage and those who dared to walk up to 430 Kings Road from 1975-81. The public face of SEX, Seditionaries and World’s End; the motivating force behind Jubilee and the first manager of The Ants these are just some of her achievements.
Cathi Unsworth has written for Bizarre, Fortean Times, Financial Times, The Guardian, Mojo and Sight & Sound.
