Let’s be real: If you’re even slightly interested in men, you’ve thought about Harry Styles in a romantic sense. He was my first love. As a freshman in high school I would sit and stare at the posters covering my walls (floor to ceiling, no joke) wishing for One Direction to come save me from my mundane high school life. Slowly, my “dedication” (obsession) with One Direction faded, mostly after Zayn left, as I was becoming interested in other bands and hobbies.
I’ve always supported Harry’s independent endeavours, especially after One Direction collapsed from inside, looking on at his glittery boots, floral pantsuits, and long curls with glee. It felt like he’d disappeared as of late though, and it was definitely the perfect time for him to drop an entire magazine filled with his eclectic sense of style and sneak peaks into his personal life.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot:
I love this photo because I feel like I’m stalking, uh, I mean watching Harry gently pick flowers for me while I lay upon a checkered picnic blanket, basking sunlight like the warm blooded reptilian I am.
Not only is the angle of this photo strangely intriguing, but I’m also drawn in by the fact that this could most definitely be a Mick Jagger photo published 50 years too late. Really, though, he needs to get those pants tailored.
This photo looks like a really realistic illustration of Harry Styles that was somehow printed in a magazine full of actual pictures of Harry. Truly, somebody should put this in the MOMA.
I think this part of the shoot was interesting because it was like they were transforming him back into a boy, since it’s the same haircut he donned as a teenager before leaving his home in Holmes Chapel. Also, it’s always great to see his third and fourth nipples.
I saved this picture for last because it’s obviously the most magnificent. His long hair, detailed tattoos, and choker make for an interesting focal point throughout the entire series.
