#Fashion icon Harry

[twopoppies]

I was thinking that maybe the chore jacket is a wordplay on its official French name "Bleu de Travail" freely translated Works Blue aka Louis is working/stunting right now.

👀 Harry?

The funny thing is, @apparentlybychance just sent me this info right when this message came in (insomnia comes in handy sometimes).

I wonder if Bill Cunningham was riding a Lime (joking. I know he wasn’t. He was riding a Schwinn if anyone cares).

Bill Cunningham was a highly respected photographer (one of the fashion industry’s favorites). In 2010 there was a documentary made about him. He passed away in 2016.

I haven’t seen the doc, but this comment was interesting.

He also had this to say:

“[…] fashion, ah, you know, in point of fact it's the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.”

So, I don’t know if we’re on the right track (and thank you, Jen for being equally as curious).

Maybe he’s showing us he’s working (doing chores)

Maybe it’s a nod to Louis working/stunting.

Maybe it’s a nod to Bill Cunningham.

Maybe he just really loves that jacket.

in reference to this

Harry, if you’re still out there… send us a sign. 😆

I love discovering these little details about Harry through his close friends. It makes me admire and love him even more.

The fact that Alessandro says Harry could easily be a designer or stylist really speaks to his talent. I feel like people don’t give Harry enough credit as an artist in a broader sense, or even as a creative person. They just focus on his looks, and like you said, that’s the least interesting thing about him. Sure, he has a great creative team to reflect and ground his vision, but at the end of the day, it’s his vision and what he wants to convey.

I wonder why he stepped back with Pleasing. Maybe he wasn’t too into the project because of the pricing or something.

Anyway, I feel like there’s still so much we have yet to discover about him.

I think the whole quote is actually so much better than that little snippet, and it gives such an interesting view into who Harry is. I think he and Alessandro are really close and much more similar than people would image.

“It was easier for him to design with me than for me to sing with him. He has an incredible sense of fashion, he is obsessed with clothes: he keeps sketches and an archive, he could easily be a stylist or a designer and is very free, representative of this new generation that is interested in so many things. I have been observing his ability to combine items of clothing in a way that is out of the ordinary compared to the required standards of taste and common sense and the homogenization of appearance. Harry has a very clear and precise point of view, on top of great instinct and he chooses his clothes with much care. The idea of this capsule is banal in its simplicity, and it’s an act of love, but it has value, it’s sophisticated and we paid a lot of attention to fabrics and sartorial details. It was a lighthearted activity and easy with this kind of relationship. But the result is serious. It’s the look of a lord who morphs into a rock star!”

Ask me why I love Harry Style

It’s so endearing that he not only holds on to, but still wears, such random, old clothing when we know he must have thousands of pieces of designer clothes.
