Harry Styles can now add "fashion designer" to his résumé. After years of appearing in Gucci campaigns [1], wearing the brand on countless occasions [2], and developing a friendship with creative director Alessandro Michele, the "Harry's House" [3] singer finally designed a Gucci collection. During Milan Fashion Week on June 20, Michele introduced "Ha Ha Ha," a playful partnership that's become the two creatives' "dream wardrobe."
The meaning behind "Ha Ha Ha" is twofold — it represents both a combination of Styles and Michele's first names, as well as the words they use to end their messages to each other. The 25-look collection, which will be available for purchase mid-October, includes shirts, pants, outerwear, and accessories inspired by '70s pop and bohemian style that capture a sense of "masculine elegance."
"Harry has an incredible sense of fashion."
"Harry has an incredible sense of fashion," Michele said in a statement. "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, I came to understand that the styling of a look is a generator of differences and of powers, as are his reactions to the designs I have created for him, which he has always made his own."
Styles is known for embracing gender fluidity [4] by way of fashion, often while wearing Gucci. Most notably, Michele designed the musician's 2019 Met Gala look [5], as well as the fun wardrobe for his Love on Tour shows [6] and the plunging sequin jumpsuit [7] seen at Coachella. Among many unforgettable looks from Styles, the famed designer is also responsible for the singer's unique sweaters and sweater vests [8].
After a number of these buzzy partnerships, a full collection feels like a natural next step for the duo. Ahead, take a closer look at the quirky suits, colorful prints, and creative kilts of Styles and Michele's "Ha Ha Ha" collaboration.
