Debbie Harry is working on a fashion collaboration with contemporary artist Shepard Fairey.

The Blondie frontwoman, famous as much for her music as for her punk-infused style, is teaming up with Fairey on a fall 2017 collection for his label Obey.

The special-edition womenswear line will not be the first time Harry has influenced the artist's work -- in 2014 he used her face to illustrate an Obey hoodie.

Fairey told WWD he had been a lifelong Blondie and Debbie Harry fan, describing her as "an amazing vocalist, lyricist, style icon, beauty and embodiment of NYC cool."

The artist added, "She's been very involved and hands-on for the whole process, just another display of her incredible talent."

Obey was founded by Fairey in 2011 and is known for its rebellious, anti-establishment approach to fashion basics for both men and women.
