Icons of Style – Harry Styles: The Story of a Fashion Icon: 1

Product Information

Harry Styles is friends with Gucci's former creative director Alessandro Michele. Just before Michele left Gucci in November 2022, they presented a collection entitled "Gucci HA HA HA."

He’s found a vague balance through compartmentalisation. “I’ve never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it’s benefited me positively,” he explains, perhaps preemptively. “There’s always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn’t going to spend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way.” Vest and Skirt by Vivienne Westwood, Shoes by ERL (Picture: Amanda Fordyce) Vest by Vivian Westwood.

It wasn’t just any show; it was the first time he performed his third and soon-to-be-biggest album, Harry’s House, in its entirety. The crowd that May night covered Long Island’s UBS Arena in feathers and glitter and tears — a ritualistic skin shedding of sorts whenever Styles comes to town. Read next When Styles played two sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in June, the first thing he did after stepping offstage each night was take a shower. The post-show shower has become a ritual: a hygienic necessity, sure, but also a crucial moment of clarity and reflection. He washes away the screams full of love and desire to just be in his presence. Anyone would be overwhelmed by that. “It’s really unnatural to stand in front of that many people and have that experience,” he says. “Washing it off, you’re just a naked person, in your most vulnerable, human form. Just like a naked baby, basically.”I’m attending a Harry Styles concert on Oct 14th, so I’m looking for something very stylish and trendy to wear. Please include the whole outfit, including shoes/boots and accessories.” In the past couple of years, he started to go to therapy more routinely. “I committed to doing it once a week,” he explains. “I felt like I exercise every day and take care of my body, so why wouldn’t I do that with my mind?” Between them, Billie Eilish and Harry Styles clearly appear to have dominated the fashion limelight this year. And their taste for gender-fluid looks no doubt has something to do with that. Both stars have clearly distinguished themselves with their willingness to break codes and stereotypes, reflecting broader changes underway in society. And while neither star is giving up traditionally masculine or feminine clothes altogether, they both play with fashion however they like, dressing according to their personality, their whims and their fancies, rather than following any fashion diktats. It should also be noted that “Love On Tour” was not the first time Styles’ style took TikTok by storm. The hashtag #harrystylescardigan has 88.9 million views and refers to the JW Anderson sweater that Styles wore during a rehearsal in February 2020, which took on a life of its own. It was auctioned as an NFT earlier this month. Dozens of crafty TikTokers attempted to recreate the sweater, with some learning to crochet to do so. Even Olympian and beloved knitter Tom Daley got in on the trend. His post has 1.4 million likes.

Popular items on Stitch Fix that have answered the demand for Styles’ look include faux leather styles, menswear-inspired statement blazers and wide-leg statement pants. Styles shot Don’t Worry Darling between September 2020 and February 2021 in LA and Palm Springs. Those months were the longest Styles had lived in one place in 11 years. He thought about going completely off the grid while making it: maybe get a flip phone, stop making music. “The reality is you get there on the first day and wait around for 75 per cent of it,” he says. “And it’s like, ‘Actually, I’m going to text my mate.’” Vest and Skirt by Vivienne Westwood, Shoes by ERL Hi! For this next Fix, could you send some pieces that you could picture Harry Styles wearing? I’m trying to branch out into more colorful pallets and try new patterns and textures. Thank you so much!!”Darling and Policeman make their big premieres at prestigious film festivals in Venice and Toronto late this summer, but Styles isn’t sure his pivot to the silver screen will be permanent. “I don’t imagine I’d do a movie for a while,” he says. There are rumours about how many Marvel movies he’s signed on for and other franchises he might be secretly in talks to do. (In response to a rumour he’ll be starring in a future Star Wars series, he says, “That’s the first I’ve heard of that. I’d imagine…false.”) Clients are requesting edgier pieces with bolder colors to wear to Harry Styles’ concerts and also to emulate his style. He’s known for an androgynous approach to outfitting, a bit unconventional and eccentric. And he often couples classic basics with statement pieces that have a fun, and sometimes feminine, flair,” said Stitch Fix stylist Ashley Sanchez. “His willingness to take risks with his wardrobe has propelled him to icon status this year for our clients, who are gravitating toward his look as they want to try something different — new and bolder than their typical style. People also love how he expresses himself authentically and is very inclusive in his fashion.” Taken from theOctober/November 2022issueof Rolling Stone UK.

In This Article: Now, besides the unavoidable singles and the victory-lap world tour, there are other indicators of next-level stardom: his skincare, nail polish and clothing line called Pleasing and a fashion collection with Gucci, not to mention his flourishing movie career. He’s starring in the psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling and in the intimate drama My Policeman, and he’s nabbed a deal with Marvel Studios to play Eros in at least one of the Eternals films. “Everything in my life has felt like a bonus since X-Factor,” he says, referring to the singing competition that led directly to One Direction. “Get on TV and sing. I never expected and never thought that would happen.”
