LONGEST VERSION

I think, just putting us into the situation rather than kind of creating a fake one around us… you don’t have to act like you’re struggling to swim after a while. - Harry for “The Making of ‘Dunkirk’”

Harry Styles at the BBC

The saddest shift of youth arrives the day your favorite tousle-haired boy-bander leaves your daydreams and abruptly needs to get off your lawn. More depressing still are the stabs at trendiness that eclipsed teen heartthrobs often take: mealy-mouthed EDM sex ballads, hammy Broadway residencies, Xeroxed pop-soul trifles. Harry Styles was one of the rare ones who hopscotched neatly over all these awkward phases once One Direction went on hiatus. Instead, on his debut solo single, “Sign of the Times,” Styles embraced the musical forms that his peers might deem uncool, from Elton John ivories-melting pomp to Glen Campbell–style lurid balladry. Grim lyrics that could seem fatalist (or given his age, just a bit emo) are delivered with earthy insight, Styles showing his true crooner abilities as he warns of bleak times to come. Well, maybe for everyone else—this golden child seems to have blue skies ahead. –Stacey Anderson

It’s very exciting to be in Shanghai for the first time. It’s also my first fashion show, and obviously this is the biggest. So, it’s a privilege.
