After much speculation, Harry Styles finally announced last week that his long-awaited fourth album will be dropping in March. While the name (and comma placement)—Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally—sparked intrigue, our attention was on the clothes. Styled by Vogue contributor Harry Lambert, the album cover and accompanying press shot (snapped by fellow Vogue contrib Johnny Dufort) featured a mix of independent designers and vintage, marking a style shift from the singer’s Alessandro Michele Gucci days.
Notably, all of the clothes worn by Styles thus far have had strong sustainability credentials—delivering a powerful message, given the singer’s enormous platform of 46.6 million followers and counting on Instagram. There was the custom Patrick Carroll knitted tee, made from leftover yarns, and the vintage jeans, sourced from London-based dealer The Vintage Showroom. Then there was the archival Miu Miu jumper and bowling pin shirt from the brand’s spring 2000 collection, styled with a Prada tie and all sourced via eBay.
“Harry is categorically one of the most stylish men on the planet because he wears clothes in such a fluid and unexpected way,” Amy Bannerman, eBay’s pre-loved style director, tells Vogue. “Seeing this eclectic combination of vintage pieces for this big moment in his career marks a real high point for pre-loved and proves that pre-loved continues to be the most desirable choice.”
