Harris Reed Luxury Fragrances & Candles

Harris Reed is the Creatve Director of French Fashion House Nina Ricci. When British singer and actor Harry Styles became the first man to be featured on the cover of Vogue magazine in December 2020, Reed was tapped by Anna Wintour to design an outfit for the feature article: a tailored suit with a hoopskirt dress.Styles' high-profile appearance in Reed's dress on the cover of Vogue sparked both controversy and celebration for the ways that the garment challenges gender norms in clothing.

In 2021, Reed was awarded "Breakthrough Designer" in GQ magazine's annual "Men of the Year" awards.  That year, Reed collaborated with Dolce & Gabbana, dressing the supermodel Iman for the 2021 Met Gala and accompanying her to the event in a matching outfit.  His gender-neutral clothing collection was modeled at the first-ever gender-neutral London Fashion Week that September, and he also launched a line of jewelry with Missoma and collaborated with MAC cosmeticsto issue the Harris Reed x MAC Collection.

In 2022, Reed's work was selected for inclusion at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London as part of the museum's first-ever exhibition dedicated to menswear, Fashioning Masculinities: The Art of Menswear  In the exhibit, an outfit that Reed designed and modeled in 2017 is juxtaposed with the clothing featured in a 1753 portrait of French writer Jacques Cazotte, as painted by French portraitist Jean-Baptiste Perronneau.

Besides frequent collaborator Harry Styles, many other notable individuals have worn Reed's designs, including Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Solange Knowles, Adele, Selena Gomez, Shakira, Miley Cyrus, Ezra Miller, Troye Sivan, Olly Alexander, Tommy Dorfman, and Emma Watson.  His work has been featured in Vogue, GQ, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Harper's Bazaar, among other publications.
