How Harris Reed became fashion’s megastar ?

The willowy Harris Reed stands 6ft 4in, with a long mane of red hair. Indeed in a fashion industry chock-full of eccentric, glamorous personalities, Reed is unique. The family pics in his debut book, Fluid A Fashion Revolution, reveal that fashion fortune and fame were apparently predestined early on.

Harris Reed Is A Self Made Megastar :

In stiletto- heeled, thigh-high boots, lipstick and lashings of makeup, the nine- year-old Reed was formerly both an anomaly and apre-teen, self- made megastar. Nearly two decades latterly, those constructive studies in fashion and going against the( gender) grain are borne out in his professional places.

“‘ Fluid’ is a awful word,” he writes at the beginning of his book.” For me, fluidity encompasses both gender expression and gender identity.

It can be one of the other, or it can be neither What you wear can reflect the way you want to be seen by the world. Just because you’re a man wearing a suit in the day does not mean you can not be a man wearing a dress at night.” At Tate Modern last evening, the British- American designer revealed his glamorous, gender- fluid Duet collection, which kicked off 2023’s London Fashion Week.

Duet was a study of contrasts in large, pneumatic outlines, couture- style embellishments, bared shoulders and nipped- in middles.

The only thing domestic about Reed’s collection was its pruned- back palette of black, white and touches of Champagne gold. Like Reed the person, the collection was a study in Romanticism and old Hollywood glamour that – on near checkup – is intricate in its subversion of traditional manly and womanish fashion details. arcs that acted womanlike and lush from hence are actually rigid and acclimated, much like Savile Row jackets; soaring, sect- suchlike shoulder outlines might equally serve to hide breasts, expose a long neck or emphasise muscular shoulders.

On the morning we speak, Reed is in the London apartment that he shares with hubby Eitan Senerman, circled by moving boxes as he awaits emendations to be completed on the couple’s new home. He’s dressed in a black tuxedo jacket, shirtless, and habitually twisting the ends of his long, auburn hair around his fingers as he talks. His speech is rapid-fire, passionate and unguarded.

This is, he admits, why he entrusted author Josh Young to translate his lengthy voice recordings to produce the final handwriting of Fluid. also my whole team was saying,’ What are you talking about?’.”
