Before Harry Lambert became one of the most sought‑after names in fashion, styling celebrity looks and influencing runways worldwide, he was a young creative obsessed with modeling culture and vintage design. Long before he was dressing high‑profile clients like Harry Styles at the Grammys or turning heads with Emma Corrin’s red carpet ensembles, Lambert was an eager British Vogue intern combing model agency circles in London and scouring Mayfair charity shops for unique pieces that spoke to his passion for enduring style.
Lambert’s personal journey — from navigating the fashion world’s backstage, watching models bring garments to life, to shaping aesthetic narratives for top models — laid the foundation for his first full fashion collaboration: a capsule collection with global brand Zara. Titled Cutie Chaos, the line is a bold, retro‑inspired tribute to the playful, expressive clothing that once defined the stylist’s own formative years. It melds whimsical motifs and vintage‑leaning silhouettes with a contemporary edge, showing how modeling inspiration can be translated into wearable art.
With around 60 pieces anchored in nostalgic ’70s cuts, vibrant hues, and fun cartoon prints, Cutie Chaos brings a fresh perspective to everyday fashion — the kind that resonates on the streets as much as on runways. From oversized retro coats and quirky knitwear to statement accessories and graphic tees, each piece feels like a celebration of self‑expression and individuality. The collection’s commitment to sustainability — using low‑impact fibers and recycled materials — also reflects Lambert’s belief that great design should be mindful of its footprint.
What makes this venture significant for the broader fashion world — from aspiring models to established model agencies — is the way it bridges creative disciplines. It underscores how the artistry behind modeling and fashion styling can influence not just how clothes are worn, but how they are conceived and brought to market. Lambert’s transition from styling icons to designing for a major brand exemplifies the evolving roles within the fashion ecosystem, where boundaries between styling, design, and industry partnerships continue to blur.
With pieces already spotted on influential figures and fashion enthusiasts alike, Cutie Chaos has sparked excitement across the style community. But for Lambert, the most rewarding part will be seeing everyday fashion lovers — whether they are aspiring models, seasoned industry pros, or simply lovers of great design — embrace his take on vintage fashion with open arms.
