Promoting the mega fashion brand’s Blondie bag collection, Debbie Harry is the face of the new Gucci campaign.
Featuring photos of the iconic punk/pop front woman sitting with the Large Top Handle Bag, worth $6980, the now 79-year old is in the back of a black cab, alongside a Yorkie dog.
About the new project, Creative Director of Gucci, Sabato De Sarno said:
“What I like the most about Debbie Harry is her irreverence. She is a free spirit in her choices, and she is still an icon.” “I have always been a fan of Blondie; they marked specific moments of my life and inspired generations. She is American but she has a strong connection with London.”
Though the bag itself is not named after the legendary group, it gets its name from a Gucci design from the 1970s and comes after Debbie announced she was cancelling several Blondie concerts during August and September, stating:
“This was a hard decision to make, and we understand how disappointing this news is for everyone.” “Your support means the world to us, and we are grateful for your understanding.”
Selling more than 40,000,000 records worldwide, Blondie was formed in 1974, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, and are working on a new LP scheduled for a 2025 release.
