Photographer Sheila Rock’s limited-edition monograph ‘Siouxsie: Exposures -1982’ revisits a landmark January 1982 studio session with Siouxsie Sioux that produced an iconic The Face magazine cover. Released June 23, 2026 by Moonboy in 1,323 numbered copies, the book features 68 previously unpublished photographs from nearly 200 images held in Rock’s archive for over four decades. Rock’s Tokyo travels in autumn 1981 inspired the shoot’s Japanese-influenced aesthetic, which she translated through collaboration with London designer Lloyd Johnson’s ‘Rock ‘n’Roll Suicide’ collection. The session captured the cross-pollination of British club culture, punk legacy, and New Romantic fashion during early 1980s style innovation. Rock, a documented witness to British subculture since the early 1970s, revealed how Siouxsie’s commanding presence elevated Johnson’s theatrical designs, creating photographs that positioned clothing and styling as cultural declarations within post-punk visual mythology.
