A glamour/fashion wall calendar featuring Debbie Harry photographed in a series of stylized studio and location shoots. Harry’s 1982 calendar is a well-known collectible that captured her at the height of her early-1980s pop-icon status, right between Blondie’s initial breakup and her solo success. Released for 1982, though most of the photography was done in 1981.
In 1981, Harry began to branch out from Blondie, announcing her solo career and releasing her debut album, KooKoo. This move allowed her to experiment with a darker, more avant-garde visual style. The album cover was designed by the Swiss artist H.R. Giger, featuring Harry with acupuncture needles piercing her face. This was a stark contrast to the glamorous Blondie image and remains one of her most striking visual statements.
Harry was frequently photographed in both London and New York City during this period. Her style included experimental street fashion, often incorporating designs by Stephen Sprouse, who defined her electric, neon-infused stage wardrobe.
A spiral-bound calendar featuring 12 intimate and candid photographs taken by her partner and bandmate Chris Stein was released, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at her life at the height of her fame.
