‘Harry’s House (Of Gucci)’

Forget everything you know about the House of Gucci… It’s time for House of Harry! Nothing is quite ‘as it was’ for the singer anymore, with Harry working with Gucci‘s Creative Director, Alessandro Michele, on the Gucci HA HA HA collection, taking a different approach to celebrating masculine elegance and being your most authentic self! The collection is a reflection of Harry’s “dream wardrobe’ – I mean… who wouldn’t want a piece of that? – and blends English tailoring with romantic accents and artisanal design. In typical Harry fashion; the collection is made up of a rainbow of colours from bright and bubbly yellows and pinks to muted greys and browns, with frequent printed appearances from bears and lambs – did you really expect anything less? Who knows, maybe a piece or two will even pop up live on Love On Tour at some point soon? If so, it’s sure to break the internet, TikTok is NOT ready!

Reformation Are Making Concerts Conscious!

Why should supporting your favourite musician cost the earth? The band tee is an iconic wardrobe staple, but the mass production of them significantly impacts our environment, which just isn’t the vibe for 2022! Reformation is using their best-selling Muse Tee, made up of 975 Organic Cotton, to support Suki Waterhouse on her tour! The merchandise will feature three unique designs with shots from Suki’s much-loved songs ‘Melrose Meltdown’ and ‘Good Looking’ all made sustainably with the environment in mind!
