Talented designer Harris Reed, whose glam-rock Victoriana aesthetic has made fans of Harry Styles and Alessandro Michele, is set on spreading love, acceptance and flounce.
When BAZAAR calls Harris Reed, he’s up to his elbows in sequins and lamé in a vintage fabric store in downtown Los Angeles. “Tonnes and tonnes of sequins and lamés — it’s so decadent and glam,” Reed says, cheerfully.
You could say the same of his designs, which fuse glam-rock androgyny à la Marc Bolan and David Bowie with kitsch-infused Edwardian and Victorian influences via Oscar Wilde and Tilda Swinton’s Orlando. Think New Romantic bellsleeves, sheer flares with 14-centimetre platform boots, or perhaps a satin high-neck ruffled shirt dwarfed by a flying-saucer-sized Bo Peep hat tied at the neck with a velvet ribbon. “It’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream for millennials,” Reed offers. “Glam-rock Victoriana with a bit of darkness and loads of tossing of the hair and attitude.”
