There are perfectly proficient glory style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you endeavour desperately to recreate at home. In 'Neat Outfits in Fashion History,' Fashionista editors are revisiting their all-fourth dimension favorite lewks.

In my solar day, I have seen many a well-dressed celebrity perched upon many a front row at many a fashion show beyond the earth. But at that place has never been a glory FROW moment which has stuck with me the fashion seeing Harry Styles at Burberry's Spring 2014 rails has, all these years later.

[extremely Sophia Petrillo from "Gilt Girls" vox] Picture show it: London, September 2013. The smash-hit documentary "This Is Us" — which had manager Morgan Spurlock post-obit male child-band awareness One Direction around their sold-out "Take Me Home" world tour — had been released to blockbuster numbers mere weeks prior. The group'south stellar third anthology, "Midnight Memories," was all the same a few months abroad from its November release, but was highly anticipated given the strength of its fun first unmarried, "Best Song E'er." It'southward fair to say that Mr. Styles had never been more in-need.

Thankfully, in that location was a break between the North American and Oceanic legs of the aforementioned bout, leaving Styles with only plenty time to pop by a footling fashion testify past a pocket-size British brand named Burberry. (Heard of it?) It was and then notwithstanding under Christopher Bailey's English Rose-axial vision. And before #Harry4Gucci was even a dream in Fashionista'southward centre, Styles regularly chose the house to outfit him for big occasions, and had been at its Spring 2013 show a year prior. For this detail London Manner Calendar week advent, Styles went for a leopard print shirt, which popped against his distressed jeans, trusty Chelsea boots and tailored overcoat.

An extra frisson of fizz was in the air on that September twenty-four hours in Kensington Gardens, equally Styles was rumored to exist dating Burberry mainstay Cara Delevingne at the time. (Delevingne would make a memorable Burberry front end-row moment of her own a few years subsequently, with and then-girlfriend St. Vincent, just that'due south some other story — and another series of Great Outfits — for another twenty-four hour period.) Just photographers would be denied a coveted snap of Styles eyeing the supermodel during her turn on the catwalk. What they would receive instead is something I consider a gift to this day.

Every bit the models streamed out for the finale, a shower of rose petals fell from the ceiling onto the runway, lightly landing in Styles's perfectly-tousled hair. In many photos of the moment, he looks like the cat that ate the canary, perched equally he was between Sienna Miller and Suki Waterhouse. He's besides clearly chewing mucilage in a manner that would be deeply upsetting to my misophonia but hey, no one is perfect.

Granted, I didn't see any of this in person. (Dhani was there, though, and I'k 99% sure I grilled her on every 2d of it.) Still, those images of Styles — tanned from vacation, with rose petals still lingering in his hair, mega-watt grinning on his face and all — have been permanently burned into my brain.
