Abstract
Recounts the story of the individuals and circumstances that would lead to the formation of Roxy Music. This work also gives an 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. "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.
