Debbie Harry
This season, fashion is having a nostalgic moment for New York\'s late \'70s/early \'80s clubbing heyday, and who better to represent the craze than Debbie Harry? Ripped T-shirts with subversive slogans, perversely-matched prints, and, most markedly, over-the-knee black leather boots (the new footwear, as seen at Louis Vuitton, Giles and Chloé for autumn/winter 2009) all played a part in the Blondie frontwoman\'s wardrobe. From Balmain\'s punk rock sequins to Marc Jacobs\' acid brights, designers are going mad for the pop icon\'s downtown New York style. Here, handbag.com looks back at some of her fashion highlights.
