Harris Reed Is Harry Styles’s Secret Fashion Weapon—And They Can Be Yours Too

American designer Harris Reed calls Harry Styles and Harry Lambert their “guardian angels.”…

Reed’s story first intersects with Styles’s in 2017. Reed had moved to London to start their studies at Central Saint Martins and was working on their first project for the university: to create an entirely white garment. Reed’s was “a huge white hat, corseted bustier top, and white flare trousers.” They posted it on Instagram. Hours later they had a message from Harry Lambert, the stylist, asking to borrow the look for a shoot in Amsterdam. Days later, Lambert asked Reed to sketch some designs for a client—but he wouldn’t say who. “[Lambert] gave me some loose references. We were talking about Bowie, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix… I had an inkling it was for Harry Styles because I knew that Harry was Harry’s client, but I was not fully sure.”

Reed created an inspiration book and final sketches that met the brief and showed them to the stylist. “I got a call a couple hours later being saying, ‘OK, he wants to meet you.’” The he in question was indeed Styles. “I was in a tutorial and my teacher was ripping me to pieces. I remember she was like, ‘You’re never going to be a good designer. You’re never going to even be an assistant. You’re not going to go anywhere!’ I was like, ‘Well, I really gotta go, I have a meeting with Harry Styles at the Apollo Theatre.’” Reed arrived wearing a fake fur jacket, no shirt, silver flares, and platform boots. “It was kind of like dynamite,” is how they describes the moment of meeting Styles and his team of creatives.

Since then, it’s been go, go, go. The three Hars—Styles, Lambert, and Reed—collaborated on lamé ruffled blouses and flares for the rest of Styles’s 2017 and 2018 world tour. Months later, Reed appeared in an advertisement for Gucci’s Memoir d’une Odeur fragrance campaign beside Styles. They have already released a debut line of candles, made in collaboration with their mother, and earlier this week their platform boots launched exclusively launch on MatchesFashion.com. Though they only just graduated from Central Saint Martins, Reed has experienced the kind of success and press coverage established designers wish for.

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.

Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.
