Seventies Glamour
€50 ︎ Add to Cart
An exuberant visual ode to the most flamboyant decade of modern style. Seventies Glamour captures the decadent energy of the 1970s — a world of disco balls, punk attitude, flared silhouettes and unapologetic excess. With rare images of cultural icons like David Bowie, Debbie Harry, and Liza Minnelli, the book weaves together fashion, film, and nightlife in a hypnotic blend of high gloss and grit.
David Wills curates this journey with a historian’s eye and a fan’s passion, presenting a gallery of fashion legends and celebrity moments through the lens of renowned photographers including Helmut Newton, Norman Parkinson, and Francesco Scavullo. A bold celebration of an era when glamour met rebellion and every rule was up for reinvention.
