At 79, Harry proves that style knows no age, embodying punk rebellion with sophistication. Her latest venture as the face of the Cutler and Gross x Great Frog collaboration, launched on September 18, 2024, showcases her unwavering rockstar attitude. This exclusive eyewear campaign celebrates two renowned British brands joining forces to create a collection that's as bold, iconic, and enduring as Harry herself. And with her stamp of approval, the collection is already making waves.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this collection so electrifying and how Harry’s influence is cementing it as a must-have for fashion lovers and rebels alike.

Cutler and Gross: A Legacy of Artisanal Eyewear

Cutler and Gross has long been synonymous with eyewear craftsmanship and distinctive style. Since 1969, this British brand has elevated eyewear from a necessity to a luxury fashion statement. Handcrafted in their Italian atelier, Cutler and Gross frames are celebrated for their bold designs, blending high-quality materials and an avant-garde aesthetic. They’ve graced the faces of fashion-forward individuals who value eyewear as an extension of personal expression.

What makes Cutler and Gross special is their attention to detail and emphasis on creating frames that are not only functional but pieces of art. The frames are made using high-end materials such as Italian acetate and sterling silver, with meticulous hand-finishing techniques passed down through generations of artisans. It's no surprise that the brand is a favorite among celebrities, fashionistas, and those who appreciate true craftsmanship.

The Great Frog: The Ultimate Punk Rock Accessory

In collaboration with The Great Frog, Cutler and Gross has elevated the rebellious nature of their eyewear with a gothic, punk twist. Founded in 1972, The Great Frog is best known for their iconic skull rings and jewelry that have adorned the likes of rock legends such as Lemmy from Motörhead and Slash from Guns N' Roses. Their designs have become synonymous with the hard-edged, punk ethos, combining dark, bold elements with fine craftsmanship.

Now, The Great Frog’s influence brings a distinctly gothic flair to the Cutler and Gross frames. Each pair in the collection is adorned with intricate sterling silver and 24K gold-plated details, giving them an edgy yet luxurious feel. The collection exudes a rebellious energy that’s perfect for those who live by their own rules—just like Debbie Harry.
