Debbie Harry

Spectacled Birthday

“There was a very do-it-yourself aspect to the way she presented herself,” he explained. “She didn’t fit into the showgirl motif that was common at that point and she was very casual about it... There was a certain spontaneity about what she did that I think people appreciated.” Harry was a new paradigm in rock, her style matched only by her fiercely fabulous attitude. Leather jackets, distressed denim, berets and logo T-shirts were all part of her signature look – transformed into something rather disarming when paired with her bleached blonde hair, charisma and ’70s eyeshadow.
