When Harry Styles appeared on the cover of Vogue, he attracted attention not only because he was the first cis man to do it, but because of what he was wearing – a dress. From his message of inclusivity and love, to his cherished friendships and endeavours for gender equality, this courageous trendsetter has an attitude that could inspire every one of us.
This wonderfully illustrated graphic biography focuses on the values that makes Harry so inspirational to so many people. He fearlessly showcases these strengths through his music, performances, and fashion – from the Vogue cover to showing his vulnerability on stage. Brought to life with breathtaking immersive illustrations, this book celebrates the inspiring moments—both public and private – that have transformed this boy-next-door into a cultural phenomenon.
