Debbie Harry, 80, is not afraid to take risks and define her own style. The lead singer of Blondie talks songwriting and attitude
When you are talking about Blondie frontwoman and style icon Debbie Harry, nothing is predictable.
Since crashing onto the rock ‘n’ roll scene with the new wave and genre-bending band Blondie in 1970s New York – and throughout her career – Harry has not shied away from risks. From being the first musician to rap in a No 1 Billboard song to pursuing a solo career and an acting career post-Blondie break-up, fol lowing her creative instinct is something that comes naturally.
Most recently, the fashion icon released a line of clothing inspired by her lifelong punk aesthetics and androgynous style in collaboration with Wildfang, a brand based in the US state of Oregon.
With Blondie’s new album set to release early next year, Harry sits down for a conversation about her new fashion line, how AI has nothing on her, doing the “wrong” thing and how that “old search for soul” is motivating her as she steps into the studio once again.
