During the candid interview, he said, "Clothes are there to have fun with and experiment with and play with. What's really exciting is that all of these lines are just kind of crumbling away. When you take away 'There are clothes for men and there are clothes for women,' once you remove any barriers, obviously you open up the arena in which you can play."
Former One Direction singer, Harry Styles, further added, "I'll go into shops sometimes, and I just find myself looking at the women's clothes thinking they're amazing. It's like anything—anytime you're putting barriers up in your own life, you're just limiting yourself. There's so much joy to be had in playing with clothes. I've never really thought too much about what it means—it just becomes this extended part of creating something."
Harry Styles during the interview mentioned that he looked up to Prince, David Bowie, Elvis, Elton John, Freddie Mercury and called them showmen. "As a kid, it was completely mind-blowing. Now I’ll put on something that feels flamboyant, and I don’t feel crazy wearing it", the singer continued. Harry said that during the quarantine and amid the pandemic, he worked on self-growth and informing himself about the ongoing social injustice discussions.
The singer continued, "I think it’s a time for opening up and learning and listening. I’ve been trying to read and educate myself so that in 20 years I’m still doing the right things and taking the right steps. I believe in karma, and I think it’s just a time right now where we could use a little more kindness and empathy and patience with people, be a little more prepared to listen and grow."
The 26-year-old singer’s sister Gemma Styles also shared some notes during Harry Styles' interview with Vogue in which she mentioned, "My mum loved to dress us up. I always hated it, and Harry was always quite into it. She did some really elaborate papier-mâché outfits: She made a giant mug and then painted an atlas on it, and that was Harry being 'The World Cup.'"
Gemma Styles added further, "Harry also had a little dalmatian-dog outfit, a hand-me-down from our closest family friends. He would just spend an inordinate amount of time wearing that outfit. But then my mum dressed me up as Cruella de Vil. She was always looking for any opportunity!"
Over on Twitter, fans had a lot to say about Harry's outfit. "'I look cute.' I love a man whose self-aware," said one fan, as another put "The world right now because Harry Styles is a literal work of art."
