Superstar stylist Harry Lambert is responsible for putting Harry Styles into pearls and feather boas. Now, the Norwich-born creative is back with his second collection with high street behemoth Zara.
For those already acquainted with his work, the 70-piece strong collection titled ‘Cutie Circus’ is a familiar affair: brimming with ‘70s references, tongue-in-cheek takes on tailoring, joy-inducing knits and logo tees, it’s as peak-Lambert as it gets. It’s not far off his ongoing collaboration with Styles either. It’s fun, it’s fresh and it doesn’t take itself too seriously - perhaps the key to Lambert’s success.
The spirit of the circus, seaside towns and theme parks is woven through a collection that started with a simple question from Lambert. 'What would I love to find when thrifting right now?’ The answer is polka-dot shirts with elongated collars, square-necked sweater vests the colour of candy floss, pin-striped brown slacks and frayed-hem blazers, all styled with irreverence and a disregard for the rules.
In his day-to-day, Lambert joins forces with fashion heavyweights like Jonathan Anderson and Miuccia Prada to dress a client roster featuring Emma Corrin and Eddie Redmayne, next to Styles. But this amalgamation of brand codes with Zara is all about Lambert and what he wants to wear. And you know what? We want to wear it, too.
