Blondie


Ive wondered about the one shouldered grey dress Debbie Harry wore in "Heart of Glass" 1978 video since I can remember. Ive always loved that song & her look in that video in particular. The dress, the 2 toned messy bob (very now) & the perplex heels (checkout Prada's SS2010).
But when i found out that the video was shot at Studio 54 & her outfit & styling was by Stephen Sprouse (adore him), i think i just fell in love with it all over again.
Apparently Stephen was a close friend of Blondie's & has designed all her outfits since 1976.
To create this dress, Sprouse photo-printed a picture of television scan lines onto a piece of fabric, and then, according to Blondie, "put a layer of cotton fabric underneath and a layer of chiffon on top, and then the scan-lines would do this op-art thing"
