Romantic, dramatic, and extraordinary - are some of the words experts use to describe this photoshoot. It took place in London’s Hampstead Heath with its gorgeous valleys and views. Harry’s outfits definitely play a huge role in the shoot. Not only are they pretty, but they also break the stereotypical gender norms. Generally, Harry Styles is known for not fitting in gender stereotypes and often wears dresses and skirts. His style is one of a kind.

In this particular photoshoot, he wore everything from big and covering to small and revealing. Even after all of the exceptional outfits, one stood out the most for the fans - the piece designed by Harris Reed. This clothing has an interesting story to it as the designer tells us. “We made it in under six days, so I literally didn’t sleep. I’ve never made something faster in my entire life,” says Harris Reed who is designing gender-fluid fashion for the future. Then he adds, “My fingers were blood-red because I was feeding through all of the steel boning and hand-tacking the piece.

We made it down to the last second. I remember putting the look in the van and thinking, "okay, here we go.” As fans say the 70-s shoulder suit, the high waisted pants, and the hoop-skirt over them was a fun look that definitely has not been done before.

The very important part of this photoshoot was played by Harry’s little sister, Gemma Styles, who was also a part of this process. They wore the same style of clothing, and the whole look was similar to the other outfits that Harry wore. During the interview, Harry and Gemma said that their double portrait on the Vogue cover would be a siblings’ surprise for their mother. She also talked about her and Harry’s past memories of dressing up in their childhood.

After interviewing some of the fans of Mr. Harry Styles in GZAAT, here are presented the questions asked, along with the responses of respondents. “What was your favorite look that he did in this photoshoot?” Everyone answered that their absolute favorite was the dress designed by Harris Reed. “What did you think about the photoshoot overall?” Freshman, Nina Aladashvili said, “I really liked the photoshoot, especially because he destroyed the stereotype, that clothes have gender and dresses are only supposed to be worn by women. I loved that he broke the gender norms, because we should not define clothes by sex and put ourselves into the frames.” “And lastly what do you think about the location of the shoot?” Most of the fans said that they liked the location because it matches his outfits. Sofi Asatiani said, “I really liked the location that the photoshoot took place in, because it had a significant meaning to it. Harry grew up in a village, so the shoot occurring in this kind of location was really symbolic”

As seen from the explosion of social media with his photos, Harry Styles’s new Vogue cover impressed a lot of people, including fans, critics and fashion lovers. As always, he broke the stereotype of gender clothing, trying to bring end to toxic masculinity. What do YOU think about all this? Are you a fan or not?
