GREAT MOMENTS IN FASHION: Rapper’s Delight

Edited by Princess Glover

Blondie’s 1983 video for “Rapture”, in which Debra Harry fancies herself a rap lyricist, could be considered corny by today’s standards. Her outfit, however, would look just as good now as it did over 20 years ago. Considering fashion is now deep in an 80’s revival, the look can be easily pulled off and would make for a rather stylish ensemble. The black tube top bejeweled with chunky gems is an obvious compliment to high-waisted dark shorts. Throw in a flimsy lace shawl, stringy, layered necklaces and understated heels, you get a look that is both simple and bold.
