Harry Styles is known for many things: former boy band heartthrob, innovative pop-rock singer, fantastic hair, up-and-coming actor, performer, the list goes on. Since One Direction went on hiatus in 2015, Harry has also emerged as a fashion icon for both men and women. Who can ever forget Harry Styles' revolutionary Vogue cover in November 2020? Harry styled a lace women's dress with a sleek black blazer, becoming the first solo man to appear on the cover of the coveted American fashion magazine.
Much of Harry's style, pun intended, can be attributed to his friendship with Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele. Harry has worked with Gucci on many major projects, including the 2019 Met Gala. As he travels the world playing in sold out stadiums for Love On Tour, the Italian fashion house continues to sponsor Harry's wardrobe. It comes as no surprise to anyone that Gucci is now designing a capsule collection with Harry Styles called Gucci HA HA HA, featuring a range of clothing and accessories available starting in October 2022.
8 The Inspiration For Gucci HA HA HA
Harry's fun personality and music are written all over the collection. It's marked by Harry's fashion spontaneity and subtle gender line nuances. The piece looks quintessentially Gucci –tailored patterned blazers, nods to retro fashion, refined maximalism– yet is playful. The fashion house said, "Throughout the Gucci HA HA HA collection, Alessandro Michele and Harry Styles reinterpret the complex and nuanced codes that have come to define the men's wardrobe, prompting playful moments for the spontaneous styling of the House's motifs."
7 What Kind Of Pieces Will Be Included In The Collection?
Gucci HA HA HA features men's clothing that appears versatile and unisex. Blazers seem to be at the forefront of the collection with pastel colors and vintage British-inspired prints. There's a pair of two-toned boots, socks, a bow tie, hats, sunglasses, and a few statement bags, all labeled with the unique Gucci HA HA HA logo. Harry's signature style is all over the collection.
6 Angry Teddy Bears?
One detail about Gucci HA HA HA has fashion and Harry Styles fans going crazy. There are little angry teddy bears on some clothes, proving to be a signature element of the collection. Teddy bears are usually cute, childish, and playful characteristics of Harry's Gucci collection, but these look angry or annoyed. It's perhaps a humorous nod to Harry's animated emotions that he sometimes shows in concerts or photo shoots.
5 The Meaning Behind Gucci HA HA HA
The name Gucci HA HA HA serves a double meaning. Literally, the word HA is an onomatopoeia, spelling out the sound of laughter, but "HA" are also the initials of Harry Styles and Alessandro Michele's first names. It signifies a collaboration between the two artists while also highlighting the humor and playfulness incorporated in the collection.

While playing at Glasgow's Ibrox Stadium, Harry wore a royal blue Gucci x Adidas tracksuit with embellished strawberries. At Wembley Stadium, he wore a silver sequin top with white trousers.
3 What The Fashion World Has To Say About Gucci HA HA HA
When Gucci announced the collection on June 20th, 2022, the Internet blew up. Given Harry's strong fashion sense, this is something people have been anticipating for a while. Publications such as Vogue and GQ quickly reacted with praise since the collection's a genius way to bridge the world of music and fashion together. The notorious Instagram page Diet Prada reported on the project only with positive opinions, claiming it to be "inevitable."
2 How To Buy Harry Styles' Gucci Collection
Unfortunately, clothes and accessories from Gucci HA HA HA will not be cheap. They have yet to announce prices as of June 23rd, 2022, but blazers typically run around $3,000, and the iconic Jackie bag, which Gucci HA HA HA includes costs at least $2,500. Sunglasses and smaller accessories might be a more popular choice to purchase for the average Harry Styles fan. Still, the entire collection will be available in Gucci stores and hopefully online. There may also be pop-up stores for the collection.
