Every week, we love to focus on one woman who really impresses us or a woman that we just love. This week, we focus on the living legend that is the inimitable, Debbie Harry. Here are eleven reasons we love this legend.
1. She’s a living legend…
She may be around for years, but Harry still manages to be as relevant now as she was then. We’re not even sure how this possible.
2. … and a fashion icon.
After years of various styles and photoshoots, Harry is certainly a fashion icon, a woman whose style is still copied constantly. Just walk into any bar in London!
3. This album cover. All of it. Divine.
Amazing.
4. Heart of Glass
How does she sing like that?!
5. She’s still rocking on…
She may be 68 but that has certainly not stopped Harry touring the world with Blondie. We can barely get out of bed at 30!
6. Atomic.
Because it is a tune. An absolute tune.
7. This photo…
Divine.
8. …and poster.
The iconic poster that either is on many a student’s wall or at least should be…
9. Her belief in experimenting.
10. Her influence.
Among the women she has influenced include Katy Perry, P!nk, Lily Allen, Cyndi Lauper and Everything But The Girl. Harry was named the 12th greatest woman of rock and roll by VH1’s 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll
11. She’s her own person.
Harry has never conformed to the rules, she does what she wants, when she wants and this applies to music, style and her life in general.
