Suzi Quatro in Her Famous Leather Bikini, 1974

These photographs of Suzi Quatro in a leather bikini was taken in 1974 during her promotional tour in Adelaide, Australia. While the pioneering American rock singer, bassist, and actress is globally recognized for her signature one-piece black leather jumpsuits, this specific promotional photoshoot became a viral, historical moment of its own.

Quatro herself has playfully looked back on the image on her social media, noting how it captured a distinct “snapshot of days gone by” during her whirlwind early career.
