Harry Styles has once again opened up about his views on being gender fluid

"There are no lines anymore." - by Bianca Mastroianni
  • 05 Sep 2019

In what looks like the sexiest interview we've ever seen, The Face magazine have teased their upcoming cover star: Harry Styles.

Posing with an open leather jacket showing off his GORJ chest, with his hair falling onto his face, the publication reveal that: "It’s been two years since @harrystyles shocked the world with his eponymous debut and lead single, Sign of the Times. After 89 arena-packed shows across five continents, the 25-year-old all but disappeared. Now he’s back to bare all."

But it won't just be his chest that he bares. The publication's Instagram posted a quote from Harry touching on gender fluidity.

"What's feminine and masculine... it's like there are no lines anymore," he says.

WATCH Harry Styles dancing with Milly Bobby Brown at Ariana Grande's concert is such a vibe:

This is a topic that Harry has been passionately speaking about since his hiatus from One Direction.

Fashion, for @harrystyles, is a playground. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A couple of years ago his stylist acquired for him a pair of pink metallic Saint Laurent boots that he has never been photographed wearing. Styles wears them "to get milk".⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ He's not sure, but he has, ballpark, 50 pairs of shoes, as well as full closets in at least three postcodes. He settles on an outfit fairly quickly, maybe changes his T-shirt once before heading out, but mostly knows what he likes.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Click the link in bio to buy your copy now 📦⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #HarryStyles #TheFace #ComingSoon #PrintMagazine #SeptemberIssue

Harry has always embraced gender fluidity with his fashion choices.

It's no secret that Harry has been very flamboyant with his style since coming into his own. Just look at his Met Gala 2019 outfit below:

His fashion choices have seemed to blur the lines for many regarding his sexuality, but in 2017, Harry made it clear that he won't define his sexuality, no matter how hard-pressed he is.

"Everyone should just be who they want to be. I've never felt the need to [label] really," he told The Sun.

He continued, "I don't feel like it's something I've ever felt like I have to explain about myself."

That's explanation enough.

It never stopped him from being out-there with his clothing choices though. In fact, it made him push the boundaries even more, especially during his solo world tour, where he enlisted fashion designer Harris Reed, who at the time was basically unknown. 

For his Amsterdam show, he wore a pirate chic head-to-toe extravaganza designed by Reed, which PAPER mag discussed with him at the time.

I write this with tears streaming down my face. I am beyond honoured and humbled to say that my first ever client is the incredible, talented, and extremely supportive @harrystyles. Harry Styles wears head to toe custom Harris Reed. Last night, whilst performing on his world tour in Amsterdam, Mr. Styles wore a bespoke Italian cream three-tier ruffled blouse with bespoke black Venetian wool exaggerated flares with hidden cream Italian silk under flare.‬ As a young designer still in school studying my craft, I have no words for how incredibly grateful I am to have Harry's unending support. To have worked together on this project was truly the most extraordinary back and forth collaboration I could have ever asked for. That being said, the one person I owe so much of myself to is the brilliant and outstanding @harry_lambert. From day one, Harry was the first person to ever pull one of my creations and, through this exciting journey, has been truly the kindest and most incredible man; guiding me and helping me...Harry, I can't thank you enough. Lastly, I could not have done this collection without my wonderful and dedicated friends and helpers who spent sleepless night after sleepless night, right there with me, never stopping and always pushing me. I love you @molliemayboyd1 and @ignaciomnz and @louelena.b I don't think anyone could truly understand the level of gratitude I have for every single person who has supported me. Every late night message on Instagram as I was lost, trying to send my pieces off, and saying "Harris, you got this." This has pushed me and helped me accomplish what I love so much because...it's not just fashion, it's not just art, it's entirely who I am. For me, it was never just about the clothes, it was about the message. As someone who came out at nine as being gay, my life was filled with people putting me down and telling me I would never achieve my dreams. This is just the beginning. I still have so much more to do and to learn, but I want show every young kid who is being picked on for being different and knowing who he is, this: YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO, THE ONLY THING STANDING IN YOUR WAY IS YOURSELF!

“With Harry, what was so beautiful is that he understood me. When we first met, he knew my backstory and that I came out as gay when I was 9 years old and lived in Arizona and got bullied and moved. He knew so many personal details and understood that for me, clothing is armour. He completely understood that vision.

“For him to wear my stuff on such a grand stage? I couldn't stop crying for two days. It wasn't even because he's Harry Styles. It was just seeing so many people email me and send me messages about how happy people were to see him in my designs and pushing a sense of fluidity. I love the word fluid because it represents so many things and doesn't have to identify anyone to any sex, gender, or anything. It's just a way of being.”

Harris continued, explaining how he really feels that Harry understood his designs, which represent fluidity, flair and #farshun of course.

“I feel that he really understood and got every bit of it. He was so excited and it was such a great step for him, especially with his new song ‘Medicine,’ coming out with that slight reference to his sexuality.” 

It’s true, fans called Harry’s song “Medicine” their new bi-anthem, however, it’s important to many, especially Harry and now Harris Reed that nobody owes an explanation about who they are.

“I love the song in general and to have him singing it while wearing my clothes is fantastic, but I hope that now people will let him be and let him focus on being an artist and an icon.”
