Wonderwall, Part 1 (of 14)

New York Dolls


The New York Dolls eponymous album released back in 1973 had a big hand in the culmination of punk. Sounding like a fast-paced Mick Jagger and T-Rex collaboration, the album was more than a group of rowdy and seriously confused men belting about their "Personality Crisis".



The New York Dolls along with similar acts like T-Rex, Roxy Music, and David Bowie represented a style that would be emulated for the rest of the decade. Of course, I am talking about Glam- Provocative, Raw, Street, Stacked and Trashy Glam. And glam has plenty of relevance this season with its flamboyant mentality; leopard print, straight legs, leather, some SERIOUSLY tall heels, sparkle and shine were all practically born from the genre.

Here are some of the stars taking on the trend...
