(2010) Todd Oldham
In 1975, a fifteen-year old Joan Jett started her first band. She hasn't stopped rocking out since. Celebrated designer Todd Oldham has put together a striking retrospective of Jett's career in his biography Joan Jett. Jett's own words are accompanied by several decades worth of photos (some featuring truly magnificently feathered hair), as well as interviews with the musicians and producers who have been drawn into this iconic musician's orbit.
