Tucked away at the back of the fourth issue of British soft-porn magazine Club International was a fashion shoot featuring clothing elements which denoted the crystallisation of the new art-directed glam aesthetic inaugurated by the release of Roxy Music’s first album a couple of months later.
The photographer was Karl Stoecker, the New Yorker who had been resident in the UK since the mid-60s and was about to come into his own with important contributions to Roxy’s visual identity across that LP and its successors For Your Pleasure and Stranded.
