Fashion Inspiration: 'The Home of the Rising Punk' - Debbie Harry

Hi guys

I know i promised you the next blog post on 'The Home of the Rising Punk' about 3 week ago but I have been busy busy busy going to vintage fairs and opening up our store in Becnicks Wonder Emporium shop in Brook Street, Chester which is amazing - I shall post another blog about that later. So yes time to go back in time to July, 1st 1945 when the punk sex god Deborah Ann Harry, previously playboy bunny was born out of her mothers whatever you like to call it...Fairy?



Anyway Debbie quickly become a punk icon when things kicked off with Blondie in the mid 1970's. Her distinctive photographic cheekbones and two tone bleached blonde hair soon gathered the attention from Rolling Stone magazine.


From this day forward Debbie Harry become the most favored female fashion icon of the 1970's, devoted by young teens. Debbie favored thrift store finds and alternated between an edgy punk look and a more feminine style but her two-tone hair and loud lipstick were a constant.

Here are a few of my favorite snaps.


Damn that woman can pull off anything...
