DAVID BOWIE in the BLITZ CLUB 1979 (Limited Edition / 200 copies)
A moment caught right at the ignition point of the New Romantic era: Bowie in the booth at the Blitz Club, framed with the scene’s sharp-edged glamour and DIY elegance. Shot in 1979 by Robert Rosen, this isn’t a staged press moment — it’s the real room, the real energy, the real people, captured with intimate access and perfect timing.
The photograph features Daniella Parmar and Toni Basil alongside Bowie, which is what makes it land: you’re not looking at “a celebrity photo” so much as an x-ray of influence in motion — how style travels, how scenes form, how a look becomes a language.
It also carries genuine cultural provenance. The Blitz story is now being formally documented by the Design Museum exhibition “Blitz: the club that shaped the 80s” (20 September 2025 – 29 March 2026) — a major show tracing how a short-lived London club night generated a creative scene that reshaped popular culture across fashion, music, film, art and design. The exhibition draws together 200+ objects (including clothing, accessories, instruments, photography and rare film footage), treating Blitz as design history rather than nostalgia — a blueprint for self-made identity, graphics, sound and style.
Bowie didn’t simply observe Blitz from the outside — he drew from it. The club’s faces, fashion and theatrical attitude fed directly into the world that followed, including the era around Ashes to Ashes. For collectors, this print is the moment where underground style and future pop mythology overlap — crisp, candid, and historically loaded.
