Harry Styles on the cover of a gardening magazine is the best move he ever made

'It stands to reason that the publicity surrounding the release of his latest album 'Harry's House' would be as avant-garde as the man himself'

Sexy, surprising, engaging. Launched on the lily pad of reality television via boyband One Direction, Harry Styles has spent the years since his exit from the group metamorphosing into the quintessential modern rock star. Far from the knit-wearing surfer dude he was curated into on the X-Factor, his journey so far has revealed him to be a deep thinker committed to challenging our perceptions of what is sexy. 

At the second weekend of Coachella earlier in the month he stomped on stage with Lizzo, twinning in matching pink outfits while the duo delivered a raucous version of Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' followed by One Direction's famous hit 'What Makes You Beautiful'.
