1979—Rock Chick
In 1979 the hairstyles became a bit wilder and messier, showing us the first glimpse of the wild, rocky times that were to come in the decade ahead—both in music and fashion.And here we can see Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry rocking the rock chick look—undeniably the signature hairstyle of 1979.
The year also saw Harry and her band catapulted to worldwide fame with the release of their stellar hit “Heart of Glass”, as well as their iconic cover shoot for Rolling Stone magazine.
1980—Experimental Color
Oh dear!That shock of wild hair dye and frankly chaotic, messy style can only mean one thing—the 80s have begun.Now, don’t get us wrong—we love a bit of 80s’ fashion, but there’s no denying it was a pretty bonkers aesthetic, playing around with every single style rule in existence, and then dying it neon orange.
And here we have Cyndi Lauper showing us exactly how it’s done, throwing out the rulebook with the signature style of the year 1980—experimental colors.It was just a different time.
