Description

The rich and subversive heritage of Glam dates back to 1890 yet as a genre it is frequently misunderstood. While Punk, Rock and Reggae are constantly reassessed and treated with reverence, Glam - aside from Bowie - has been overlooked... until now. From Garbo to Valentino and Dietrich, the classic icons and silver screen sirens had a significant impact on High Glam, an adoration of image passed from Dorian Gray to the Pre-Raphaelites and Hollywood, which was eventually adopted by Warhol's drag muses. They in turn were to inspire Lou Reed, their story related in the ultimate Glam anthem, 'Walk on the Wild Side'. This unique study looks at the background to Jagger's ''Performance', Bowie's own metamorphosis with the release of ''Space Oddity', Roxy Music's elegance and intellect, and more.
